Abstract
This paper will focus upon three main themes: how inscriptions can enhance our appreciation of lived ancient religion; the different meanings which inscriptions give to individual objects; and the contribution which inscriptions make to the study of individual religious practices. We often refer to ‘religious dedications’ as a particular genre of inscribed monument, but this category embraces a wide range of different types of object, including altars large and small; plaques; bases for statues and statuettes; and any object could become a religious dedication by having an inscription added to it to this effect. Dedications could also be made by different people, such as cult officials, magistrates and other public officials, private individuals, and associations.
