Abstract

The paper considers archaeological findings related to oriental cults in ancient Boetia increasing the knowledge of their diffusion, till now mainly founded on literary and epigraphic sources. Particular attention has been paid to evidences regarding the cults of Cybel and Isis in the cities of the region. By examining published and unpublished archaeological documentary evidence it is possible to state that the cult of Cybel is confirmed to be broadly established from the 5th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D., while the cult of Isis is established from the second half of the 3rd century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D as indicated by the inscriptions on the bases of statues representing characters related to the cult and the decree of manumission of slaves and the few figured monuments found.
