This volume brings together papers dealing with therapeutic aspects connected to thermo-mineral
sites both in Italy and in the Roman Provinces, as well as cultic issues surrounding
health and healing. The first part of the book consists of contributions that are
focused on the numerous problems concerning the exploitation of curative springs and
the settlement patterns at spa sites in terms of topography, infrastructure, architecture,
cult, society and economy, emphasizing the particularities accompanying the use of
beneficial sources and comparing them to that of common sweet waters. The papers in
the second part of the volume are concentrated on religious aspects connected to health,
fertility and healing, focusing especially on sites located at particular natural
surroundings such as caves and water sources. Together, the contributions in this
book give us an idea of the amount and quality of research currently being undertaken
in different parts of the Roman world (and complemented by one paper on the Greek
world) on the topic of health and healing associated with cults and salutiferous waters
