About the Book

English summary: Among the most interesting finds from ancient Latium are terracotta replicas of body parts that can be dated to the 4th to 1st centuries BC. These anatomical votives were previously understood as indicators for healing cults and components of Greek or Roman religion, which were adopted into the sanctuaries of Latium in the course of Roman expansion. This monograph takes a fresh, new look at these votives and their interpretation. Featuring a contextualising approach, it analyses more than 100 sites with a total of over 15,000 anatomical votives not only quantitatively, but also with regard to their connection to topographical features and the connection to roads and settlements. Based on this data, two types of sites can be classified, which can be distinguished from each other in terms of their location, the composition of the votive complexes, the venerated deities and in gender-specific terms. Both groups are presumably rooted in older, regional cult traditions and do not reveal a specific focus as a "healing cult" with regard to the architecture of the sites or the deities addressed. Instead, the quantitative analysis of the votive complexes and their associated finds show the anatomical votives as media that were used in situations associated with uncertainty, stress or personal crises. They thus served to strengthen personal resilience by addressing these uncertainties and fears, making them visible or symbolising their overcoming. Thus, anatomical votives are most likely not to be understood as offerings with a static meaning in a fixed cultic context, but rather as multivalent objects in a flexible frame of reference. It can be assumed that the meaning of the anatomical votives was individually determined by their donors and could vary depending on the context. The contextualisation of the finds allows a new view of the sites, which were previously regarded as healing cult sites, and permits a new interpretation of the body part dedications as evidence of local, closely networked communities with a horizon of ideas influenced by autochthonous traditions. Thus, they can also be understood as part of an independent identity within a larger frame of reference. This change of perspective contributes to new insights into the tradition and subject of archaeological sites formerly addressed as healing cult sites. German description: Zu den interessantesten Funden aus den Heiligtumern des antiken Latium gehoren aus Terrakotta gefertigte Nachbildungen von Korperteilen, die sich ins 4. bis 1. Jh. v. Chr. datieren lassen. Diese anatomischen Votive galten bisher als Indikatoren fur Heilkulte und als Bestandteile griechischer oder romischer Religion, die im Laufe der romischen Expansion in die Heiligtumer Latiums ubernommen wurden. Auf diese Korperteilweihungen und ihre Deutung wirft diese Monographie einen neuen, frischen Blick. Sie wertet die archaologischen Kontexte aus und analysiert mehr als 100 Fundorte mit insgesamt uber 15.000 anatomischen Votiven nicht nur quantitativ, sondern auch hinsichtlich ihrer Verbindung zu topographischen Merkmalen und der Anbindung an Strassen und Siedlungen. Auf dieser Grundlage lassen sich zwei Gruppen von Statten klassifizieren, die sich hinsichtlich ihrer Lage, der Zusammensetzung der Votivkomplexe, der adressierten Gottheiten und in geschlechtsspezifischer Hinsicht voneinander abgrenzen lassen. Beide Gruppen wurzeln vermutlich in alteren, regionalen Kulttraditionen und lassen mit Blick auf die Architektur der Statten oder hinsichtlich der adressierten Gottheiten keinen spezifischen Schwerpunkt als "Heilkult" erkennen. Stattdessen zeigen die quantitative Analyse der Votivkomplexe und die Untersuchung der Vergesellschaftung der Korperteilweihungen mit anderen Votivgaben die anatomischen Votive als Medien, die in Situationen eingesetzt wurden, die mit Unsicherheit, Stress oder personlichen Krisen verbunden waren. Sie dienten somit der Starkung der personlichen Resilienz, indem sie diese Unsicherheiten und Angste thematisierten, sichtbar machten oder ihre Uberwindung symbolisierten. Damit sind anatomische Votive hochstwahrscheinlich nicht als Opfergaben mit einer statischen Bedeutung in einem festen kultischen Kontext zu verstehen, sondern vielmehr als multivalente Objekte in einem flexiblen Bezugsrahmen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die Bedeutung der Korperteilweihungen von ihren Stiftern und Stifterinnen individuell festgelegt wurde und je nach Kontext variieren konnte. Die Kontextualisierung der Funde ermoglicht eine neue Sicht auf die Statten, die bislang als Heilkultstatten betrachtet wurden und erlaubt die Neu-Deutung der Korperteilweihungen als Zeugnis lokaler, eng vernetzter Gemeinschaften mit einem von autochthonen Traditionen beeinflussten Vorstellungshorizont. Damit lassen sie sich auch als Teil einer eigenstandigen Identitat innerhalb eines grosseren Bezugsrahmens verstehen. Dieser Perspektivwechsel tragt zu neuen Einsichten in die Tradition und Thematik archaologischer Statten bei, die fruher als Heilkultstatten betrachtet wurden.
