Abstract
"The name given to the fusion of various divinities in a polytheistic system is syncretism. Although the phenomenon has been overemphasized by many modern scholars who are used to thinking in terms of monotheism and therefore cannot bring themselves to think polytheistically, it remains a salient characteristic of late paganism, and one of the cults which it characterizes particularly is that of Sabazius. It is therefore welcome to have a monument which confirms a specific syncretism in the Sabazius cult."--First paragraph.
