Waffenweihungen in griechischen Heiligtümern
During excavations in important Greek sanctuaries such as Olympia or Delphi, large quantities of weapons and pieces of armour from the 8th to 4th century BC were found. They are considered to be pieces of booty that Greek city states donated to the gods after victorious battles.
In this volume, the custom of dedicating weapons in the Greek world between Sicily and Cyprus is summarised. More than 130 sanctuaries with weapon finds form the basis of the analysis, which also includes written and epigraphic sources. This makes the volume a comprehensive compendium of an important votive custom in ancient Greece.
