There are two interesting cases of the worship of Roman period deities in the north-eastern Italian and Pannonian regions, which in one way or another seem to have survived through the early medieval ...to modern times. The first is the cult of Belenus, the well-known Celtic and most notably Norican and Aquileian god. The second case is that of Cybele and Attis, the so-called eastern deities, whose cult became highly influential in the mentioned areas – as well as elsewhere – in the second and third centuries AD. Interestingly, a deity called “holy Belin” was documented in the second half of the 19th century in the area of Tolmin in Slovenia (the hinterland of Aquileia), as a traditional folk belief. In Pannonia, traces of the cult of Cybele and Attis seem to have survived from antiquity in Prekmurje and Porabje (Slovenia, Hungary), reflected in the unusual and still existing custom of the “wedding with a pine-tree”.
Exploring the content and motifs of thirty folktales about intermittent lakes in the region of Tolmin, the material is based on various archival and published sources, largely from the personal ...archives accumulated by Janez Dolenc during his study years. All of the narratives include a specific reference to the location of each lake. In addition, most of them usually contain at least one of the following motifs: the origin of settlements; the existence of mooring rings; sailing; an explanation of who, or what, has caused the lake to vanish, and how this has occurred; and the definition of the locality where the lake has disappeared.
V prispevku obravnavamo kamenodobno najdišče na plan-ini Pretovč pri Tolminu, kjer so bile na dveh različnih mestihodkrite površinske kamene najdbe. Predstavljamo izsledkearheološkega ...izkopavanja na Gorenjem Pretovču. Najdišče raz-lagamo kot mezolitski lovski tabor.
