Cultural Change in the religious landscape of Umbria between the 6th and the 1st centuries BCE

My research project focuses the geographical frame of the religious landscape of Umbria and its material manifestations. The goal of my project is to evaluate the change in location, architecture, and ritual behaviors of the Italic sanctuaries of the region during the Middle and Late Republican period and their significance for Italic communities in two crucial historical moments: the aftermath of the Roman expansion in the fourth century and of the concession of Roman citizenship to the whole peninsula in the early first century BCE. I hope that this focus will illuminate the relationship of cultic and ritual material culture to Roman expansion and new ideologies, and shed light on the actual modes of cultural contact implicated in this process.
