This seminar explores new ways of understanding the relationship between artefact assemblages and sacred space. From archaeological finds, inventories recorded in stone, and literary sources we know that Greek and Roman temples and sanctuaries were filled with art, in some cases of considerable (and even mythical) antiquity. These assemblages of artifacts were first and foremost sacred offerings to the gods and were used in rituals, for mediating the relationship between the human and the divine sphere.
