Shrines and Healing Waters in Ancient Italy. Buildings, Cults, Deities

The study of settlements at thermal springs in ancient Italy has allowed us to analyse not only the healing and recreational establishments built near the springs, but also the worship places and ex voto dedicated to the aquae. This contribution offers some reflections on the material and structural types of these sacred spaces attested in the Italian peninsula, concluding with some observations on the deities attested at the springs and those who appear to be almost absent.
