EL LITIGIO ENTRE EL DIOS ANFIARAO Y LOS PUBLICANOS (73 A.E.): PODER, POLÍTICA Y RELIGIÓN EN LA DOMINACIÓN ROMANA DE GRECIA.

Among the first materials exhumed by the Archaeological Society of Athens in the sanctuary of Amphiaraos (Oropos, Boeotia) is a marble stele with the text of an official letter of Roman consuls (73 b. C.) to the Oropians (IOropos 308). It is a dispute in which the divine condition of the owner of a famous Greek cult place is questioned. The extension, complexity and richness of the inscription allows to trace the precise historical conditions of the moment, the identity and disposition of the parties in the lawsuit and the concrete circumstances that surrounded it. The document reveals, in short, the details of a legal dispute around which orbited motives, forces and interests whose investigation opens a door to the intricate territory of ancient polytheisms.
