\nThe cults<\/strong>
\nThe only deity of the Roman Pantheon vouched for Alba Pompeia is Mercury, the messenger of the
\ngods and patron of the commerce. Here it is represented on the marble slab through the Caduceus<\/em> (a
\nshort staff entwined by two serpents).
\nIn the territory of Alba Pompeia, the Victory\u2019s cult is known. In facts, the museum exposes a stele
\nwith an inscription dedicated to her, found between Monticello d\u2019Alba and Scaparoni, dated back to
\nthe half of the II century and the beginning of the III century AC (pict. 2)
\nIn addition to the traditional Roman deities, a fragment of a stele garnished with a sistrum (a sort of
\nmetallic bell instrument), a plate, a situla (a bucket) and a mirror attests the presence of the
\nEgyptian deity Isis, worshiped as the deity of the magic, of the destiny, of the navigation, but also of
\nthe fertility, of maternity and of the love.
\nA particular cult \u2013 supported by epigraphic evidences from Alba \u2013 is the one that honoured the
\nEmperor. Since the Augustus\u2019 time, people began to dedicate altars and simulacrums also to the
\nprinceps, worshiped as a deity.<\/p>\n
