I started the study at the suggestion of Professor Alexandru Diaconescu, firstly examining a restricted domain of the cult of Venus, namely the terracotta depiction of the goddess. Their high number, Venus being the most often depicted deity in terracotta, as well as their diversity and emergence in most important discovery contexts, made me broaden the subject incorporating the entire material in regards to the cult. Thus, the work became the first monograph study of a deity in Dacia, namely the cult of Venus, the deity with the richest presence in the province. The analysis of the cult is based on the catalogue, which includes every material category that the goddess is depicted into, both inscriptions and figured material (bronze statuettes, terracotta, marble) or jewellery (gem, hairpins, distaffs). The artifacts that may be ascribed to the cult of the goddess are numerous, 390 pieces being discovered on the territory of the province of Dacia. The great majority is represented by the figured material, with only 9 inscriptions mentioning Venus.
