Vitis vinifera specie used in libations and in daily life Apulum-Liber Pater Sanctuary (In Vino Veritas…)
Journal Title: Acta Terrae Septemcastrensis - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The present paper debate the use of Vitis vinifera specie within libations, offerings and in daily life. On the debate topic we reported to a key site belonging to roman era (site Apulum) where during archaeological researches developed in area of ancient Colonia Aurelia Apulensis was revealed a sanctuary dedicated to Liber Pater, a roman deity of wine and vegetation. Liber Pater was an archaic divinity being associated with Dyonisos and Bachus, later at Romans. The results of archaeobotanical analysis carried out on the soil samples picked from the mentioned area have confirmed the presence of Vitis specie in the sanctuary. These realities can afford us to launch the hypothesis that the specie may be used within libations as wine, but also as fruit within ritual deposits
