Phrygian Dedications to Zeus Alsenos at the Medelhavs­Museet of Stockholm - 2015.


73

Thanks to a private donation, the Medelhavs­museet of Stockholm displays several artefacts dedicated to Zeus Alsenos, a very popular Phrygian divinity during the 2nd and 3th cent. ad, especially in the neighbourhood of the marble quarries of Dokimeion. These items are essentially votive stelai, but a rare marble votive object with a Greek dedication to the local divinity seems to represent a pick such as was used by the quarrymen.
