Se publica una inscripción funeraria inédita procedente de Toletum. El texto menciona explícitamente el estado servil de la difunta y es interesante por la ausencia de abreviaturas en el formulario epigráfico. También digno de notar es el soporte, una forma inusual de estela que podría presentar una prótome humana estilizada en la cabecera.

Understanding the dynamics of the vow in the Ancient World implies focusing on the manners in which ancient worshippers conceived their relationship to the divinities of their Pantheon. Indeed, making a vow represented a privileged way for humans to get in contact with the gods and the supernatural domain. In the last years, the degree of interest on this topic has been reinvigorated by the publication of important works, which have addressed the issue from different perspectives. The mechanisms regulating the dialogue between individuals and gods are still a very actual topic of discussion, especially in light of the recent studies about the role of these individuals during the dialogue with the deities. Through this Workshop we intend to encourage scientific debate about the practice of vowing in ancient times, especially within Greek, pre-Roman and Roman culture from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
