"This is an interesting and important volume: in directing the attention to Doliche it ties in with what in these post-EPRO days is happening in the field of oriental religions' and makes a worthwhile contribution to these new approaches." -- Frederick G.Naerebout , Leiden University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review (2013.03.47) English summary: Jupiter Dolichenus was the local god of the town of Doliche in Southeastern Turkey, and during the 2nd century AD his cult spread over large parts of the Roman Empire. The recent debate on oriental religions in the Roman Empire as well as the results of the ongoing excavations in the god's main sanctuary in Doliche have prompted a fresh look at Jupiter Dolichenus. In this book, eight contributions by historians and archaeologists examine various aspects of his religion. The topics range from the connection between Doliche and the Western cult, the ways in which the religion spread, the god's role in the Roman army and his female worshippers to a close examination of the architecture of his shrines, a presentation of the recently excavated Vindolanda Dolichenum and a description of the evidence from the Danube region. German description: Der Kult des Iuppiter Dolichenus, des lokalen Gottes der Kleinstadt Doliche in der heutigen Sudostturkei, verbreitete sich im 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. mit grosser Geschwindigkeit in weiten Teilen des Imperium Romanum. Die Debatte um orientalische Kulte im romischen Reich, aber auch die Ergebnisse der Ausgrabungen im Hauptheiligtum von Doliche haben Anlass geboten, verschiedene Facetten des Kultes erneut in den Blick zu nehmen. Aus historischer wie archaologischer Perspektive beleuchten die Beitrage ein breites Spektrum von Fragen, das von der Bedeutung Doliches fur den Kult im Westen, den Wegen seiner Verbreitung, seinem Status im romischen Heer bis zur Rolle von Frauen im Kult reicht. Ausserdem wird die differenzierte Auswertung der bekannten Dolichenus-Heiligtumer und die Darstellung der Funde aus der Donauregion sowie eine ausfuhrliche Vorlage des neu entdeckten Dolichenus-Heiligtums von Vindolanda thematisiert.
