It is shown that the cult enjoyed a vibrant period of worship in the Roman era and by analysing the factors by which this religious changed happened, the impact which the Roman Empire had upon religious life is determined. Making use of epigraphic, numismatic, visual, and literary sources, van der Ploeg demonstrates the multifaceted nature of the Roman cult of Asclepius, updating current thinking about the god. 410 0$aImpact of Empire$v30. 606 $aCults$zRome 615 0$aCults 676 $a292.211 700 $aPloeg$b Ghislaine E. van der$01651827 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826919803321 996 $aThe impact of the Roman Empire on the cult of Asclepius$94002036 997 $aUNINA
