SUMMARY
Concordia-Homonoia as a personified deity is found since the late 4th cent. BC in several places of the Greek world. The adoration of this deity in Asia Minor dates from the 3rd and 2nd cent. BC. During the Imperial period we have the minting of thousands of coins in cities of Asia Minor bearing the inscription ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ on the reverse. Statues of the personified deity were set up in many cities. It formed an integral part of the imperial cult and was called Concordia Augusta. Her priests were members of the local aristocracy and maintained ties with the Roman authorities. |
