Abstract

The attestations of the cult of the Goddess Nemesis in the Balkan-Danubian provincies from the beginning of the 2nd century AD do not seem to respond to a cultural, private and spontaneous, need of the local population. These evidences presumably appear on one hand as the consequence of a political and ideological project based on the achievement and on legitimation of Trajan’s imperium in these social contexts, and on the other hand as a response, an “Akzeptanz”, an acceptance on behalf of the Balkan-Danubian elites of Trajan’s propaganda.
