Donations of Slaves and Freebom Children to Deities in Roman Macedonia and Phrygia. A Reconsideration

Thirty-five years after their chance discovery, the long-awaited publication of inscriptions from the temple of thc lndigenous Mother of Gods in Lefkopetra has appeared. The importance of this source-material for the sludy of religion, society, economy and legal practices of Roman Macedenia cannot be overstated. Various adverse circumstances have long delayed the final publication of some two hundred texts unearthed in 1965. We are very grateful to the editors for their patient work and perseverance on the difficult path that led to the Corpus we now have before us.
