The meaning to be related to those mosaics is very debated, in particular whether to consider them as reliable sources or not to define the traits of the African Dionysism. To resolve the issue, it is necessary to study the mosaics in their own context. This contribution intends to analyse, as an example, the oecus mosaic from the ‘House of Silenus’ at El Jem-Thysdrus, aiming to clarify if it could be intended in a symbolic interpretation (i.e. the scene allude to certain aspects of the Dionysiac mysteries) as it is traditionally proposed.

This is an ‘atypical’ attribute, at least regarding to the depictions of the goddess in sculpture. More frequently, it appears in the images related to the ministers of the cult, the priests of the Phrygian and Roman tradition. The contribution examines the significance of cista mystica within the cult of Mater Magna and Attis as well as the question of identification and significance of this attribute in statues from Salona.

La valutazione delle consuetudini religiose investe i parametri, anche cronologici, del rapporto/confronto con il sistema romano e dell’integrazione nell’ordinamento istituzionale cittadino dei modelli romani. La riflessione su alcune funzioni sacerdotali e sulla natura degli istituti sacrali tenta di restituire i tratti del profilo istituzionale e religioso del mondo latino, che manifesta al contempo concordanze e divergenze rispetto allo schema romano, lasciando intravedere gli elementi di una realtà cultuale stratificata su molteplici esperienze che si dipanano sul medio e lungo periodo storico.
