About the Book

This volume presents the finds from a votive deposit discovered in 2004 in the waters of the thermal spring "Doccia della Testa," located at San Casciano dei Bagni (Siena). Datable from 500-490 B.C. to the era of Maxentius, the deposit comprises metallic artifacts exclusively (a small marble base to which a metal sculpture had been attached also numbers among the finds). The oldest artifacts are represented by statuettes of divinities and by devotional offerings, an aes formatum and two anatomical ex votos (an ear and a breast), while from the Imperial age, a dedication of a series of coins (perhaps a unique hoard) was recovered, dating from the time of Tiberius to the middle of the third century A.D., at least until the brief reign of Trajan Decius (249-251 A.D.). The upper chronological limit of the deposit is indicated by a follis of Maxentius (309-312 A.D.) which, although it is an isolated example, proves that the spring at San Casciano was frequented into the Late Antique period. In all, the spring was in use for a period of about eight hundred years. The offerings were consigned "to the watery deep" as dedications to a divinity unknown to us, but whose spiritual power was focused on healing by means of the beneficial effects of the thermal water, flowing out at 41 °C, containing sulfur, calcium, and magnesium, and which is also fluoridated and radioactive. The anatomical ex voto in the shape of a breast is especially interesting and nearly unique (there is one other from the sanctuary of Diana Nemorensis, cited in an excavation report of 1895, but which at present cannot be located), which bears the inscription of a freed woman with a Greek-sounding name, Eutyche, the liberated slave of one Gaius Avidienus, a patronus perhaps of Umbrian or Picenian origin. The study is complemented by an essay concerning the Roman votive inscriptions from the thermal region of San Casciano.
Ce volume est consacré au matériel d'un dépôt votif récupéré en 2004 dans les eaux de la source thermale dite "Doccia della Testa" à San Casciano dei Bagni (Sienne). Datable d'une période comprise entre 500/490 av. J.-C. et l'époque de Maxence, ce dépôt est exclusivement constitué d'objets métalliques (la petite base de marbre que l'on distingue au milieu d'eux accueillait à l'origine une sculpture elle aussi enmétal). Si les documents les plus anciens sont constitués par des statuettes de divinités et d'offrants, par un aes formatum et par deux ex voto anatomiques (une oreille et un sein), il faut dater de l'époque impériale la dédicace d'une série de monnaies (peut-être un unique thesaurus ) qui vont du règne de Tibère jusqu'au milieu du IIIe siècle ap. J.-C., pour lemoins jusqu'au bref imperiumde TrajanDèce (249-251 ap. J.-C).Un follis de Maxence (309-312 ap. J.-C.), bien qu'isolé, témoigne de son côté de la fréquentation de la source de San Casciano jusqu'à la la fin de l'antiquité tardive, soit au total pendant plus de huit cent ans. Les offrandes ont été dédiées "par immersion" à une divinité qui nous reste inconnue, mais dont le culte, qui visait à la sanatio, bénéficiait des effets bienfaisants de l'eau thermale fluorée et radioactive, riche en souffre, calcium, etmagnésium, qui jaillit à 41 °C. On retiendra comme d'un très grand intérêt l'ex voto anatomique en forme de sein, qui porte la dédicace d'une affranchie au nomgrec, Eutyche, esclave affranchie par unGaius Avidienus, patronus peut-être d'origine ombro-picénienne: pratiquement un unicum (si l'on fait exception de l'exemplaire du sanctuaire deDiana Nemorensis, cité dans un compte-rendu de fouilles de 1895, mais actuellement non localisé). L'étude est complétée par un essai sur les inscriptions dédicataires romaines trouvées dans la zone thermal de San Casciano, qui faisait partie de l' Ager Clusinus . Im vorliegenden Band wird das Fundmaterial aus einem Votivdepot publiziert, das 2004 im Wasser der Thermalquelle von " Doccia della Testa " in San Casciano dei Bagni gehoben werden konnte. Die aus den Jahren 500/490 v. Chr. bis in die Zeit des spätrömischen Kaisers Maxentius datierenden Funde aus dem Depot umfassen ausschliesslich Metallobjekte, zu denen ergänzend eine kleine Marmorbasis hinzukommt, auf der einst ebenfalls eine Skulptur aus Metall aufgestellt war. Die frühesten Funde sind Statuetten von Gottheiten und Adoranten, ein Stück aes formatum und zwei anatomische Exvotos (ein Ohr und ein Brust), während in die Kaiserzeit die Weihung einer Serie von Münzen gehört, möglicherweise ein einziger Hortfund, die von Kaiser Tiberius bis ins mittlere 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. reichen, bis mindestens in die Regierungszeit des Kaisers Traianus Decius (249 - 251 n. Chr.). Der späteste Fund ist ein Follis des Kaisers Maxentius (309 - 312 n. Chr.), der - obwohl es sich umeinen isolierten Fund handelt - eine über 800 Jahre dauernde Benutzung des Depots bis in Spätzeit bezeugt. Die Weihungen erfolgten durch das Versenken in das Wasser an eine uns unbekannte Gottheit, deren Wirkungsbereich in der sanatio zu suchen ist. Diese erfolgte wohl durch die wohltuenden Effekte des mit 41 °C aus dem Boden sprudelnden warmen Wassers, das sulfat-, calcium-, magnesium- sowie fluorhaltig ist und radioaktive Eigenschaften aufweist. Von besonderem Interesse ist das mit einer Inschrift versehene anatomische Exvoto in Form einer Brust, bei dem es sich mit Ausnahme eines entsprechenden Fundstücks aus dem Heiligtum der Diana Nemorensis, das in einem Fundbericht von 1895 erwähnt wird aber heute verschollen ist, praktisch um ein Unikum handelt. Die Inschrift nennt eine, von einem Gaius Avidienus freigelassene Sklavin mit dem griechisch klingenden Beinamen Eutyche, einem Patronus, der möglicherweise umbrisch-picenischer Herkunft ist. Der Text wird durch eine Studie zu den römischen Votivinschriften aus dem Thermalbereich von San Casciano vervollständigt.r
