Le iscrizioni a matrice religiosa dei vilici (II parte): la documentazione della penisola italica escluse Roma e Ostia

The study analyzes the inscriptions of a religious nature placed by vilici in the Italian peninsula, excluding those pertinent to Rome and ancient Ostia. The documentation is distributed in a non-homogeneous way among the regiones Italiae, with a prevalence of epigraphs pertinent to vilici engaged in the state administration, both in the customs stations and in the marble basins of Etruria, which is accompanied by a fair number of these characters used in the administrative management of municipalities. Less frequent is the presence of vilici rustici, whose documentation comes in particular from the Samnium. Among the honored deities also stands out in this nucleus the presence of Silvano, to which are added religious figures able to coagulate groups of people pervaded by a profound loyalty to superiors and state institutions.
