Se presenta una síntesis sobre el culto a Minerva en Tarraco a través de los testimonios arqueológicos disponibles. Se tienen en cuenta preferentemente las inscripciones por la riqueza informativa que aportan, pero también se examinan las evidencias escultóricas y la documentación arquitectónica relacionada con santuarios consagrados a la divinidad. Es notable el elevado número de evidencias relacionadas con Minerva en esta ciudad –contando especialmente con un nutrido conjunto epigráfico– destacando la variedad de grupos sociales adeptos de esta divinidad. Tarraco representa la ciudad hispanorromana de donde procede un mayor número de testimonios relacionados con el culto a Minerva, como consecuencia de tres factores principales: la llegada de soldados para la conquista de Hispania y su posterior establecimiento en la ciudad para gestiones relacionadas con el officium del gobernador provincial, el carácter estatal y capitolino de la diosa, y el esplendor de las artes y los oficios en el siglo II d.C.
A synthesis on the cult of Minerva in Tarraco through archaeological evidence is presented. Inscriptions are taken into account especially due to the amount of information they provide – the high number of epigraphic evidences relating to Minerva in this city is remarkable. However, sculptures and architectural documentation related to sanctuaries are also examined. It stands out above all the variety of social groups worshipping to this female divinity. Tarraco is the city of Hispania where comes from a greater number of testimonies related to the cult of Minerva, as a result of three main factors: the arrival of soldiers for the conquest of Hispania and their later settlement in the city for efforts related to the officium of the provincial Governor, the capitoline and public character of the goddess, and the splendor of the arts and crafts in the 2nd century AD.
