| dc.description.abstract | Two altars decorated with bucrania and garlands and carrying inscriptions dedicated to Demeter are the subject of this paper. The first one was discovered in Sardis and is housed in the Museum of Manisa (Inv. No. 244). The second altar, dedicated to Demeter Karpophoros (Demeter the Basket Carrier), comes from Ephesos and is exhibited in the Museum of Selcuk. They belong to the late Hellenistic and to the Roman Imperial period respectively. A third altar, from Sardis, is also dedicated to Demeter Karpophoros, but lacks bucrania and garlands. There are two excavated temples dedicated to Demeter in Western Asia Minor, one in Priene and the other in Pergamon. | en_GB |
