Abstract
This volume explores links between writing and religious traditions in north-eastern Italy across the long transition from the indigenous cultures of the Veneti to the Roman world. Through an interdisciplinary analysis of inscriptions and material evidence, it examines sanctuaries as settings for ritual practices, offerings and sacrifices, votive deposits, economic activities and the teaching of writing. Arising from a collaborative research project, the book combines thematic analyses with individual case studies to explore continuity and change in sacred spaces, highlighting the role of written communication as a form of cultural interaction.
