Abstract
<jats:p>The volume collects the proceedings of the conference “Places of Worship and Ritual Practices in Ancient Oderzo”, held at the Eno Bellis Archaeological Museum in Oderzo on 24 June 2024. The various contributions investigate, across a diachronic span of more than one thousand years, from the 9th century BC to the 8th century AD, the multiple forms of evidence, artefacts, monuments, and cult areas of the ancient city. Through the analysis of monumental buildings and epigraphic documents, of ceramics and small bronze figurines, and finally of chronicle sources, it has been possible to outline an overall—albeit fragmentary—picture of the different testimonies relating to the sacred sphere in both its public and private dimensions, while also engaging with comparisons and insights drawn from the wider Veneto and Cisalpine contexts. The resulting framework highlights remarkable elements of continuity in the sacred use of certain spaces on the Opitergian hill.</jats:p>
