Summary
p a specific deity? My analysis shows that in order to sacrifice to a civic deity of choice, a worshipper was willing to travel far beyond her or his neighbourhood, while at the same time bestowing votives on deities of the neighbourhood and focusing on household religion. While occasionally a cultic centre attracted individuals to a specific neighbourhood, it was more common that worshippers created their own religious 'cityscapes' where they lived, including places of worship.
