Abstract

The aim of this study is to establish the similarities and differences between the religious behaviour of seviri and seviri Augustales in the territory of Venetia et Histria. For that purpose, the inscriptions with religious offerings involving those two groups will be analysed and compared regarding aspects like the social status of their members, their respective preferred divinities or the geographic presence and chronology of these epigraphic evidences. The results of this analysis will bring some hints about the religiosity of both collectives.
