Travel of the "Mother" goddess cult from pessinus to rome -In the light of ancient sources, archaeological and epygraphic data-

The belief in the "Mother" goddess, which has a deep-rooted history in Anatolia, has managed to maintain its existence for ages despite changing civilizations and societies. No goddess has had such a wide area of worship. In different periods, she appeared as a goddess who could easily adapt to different cultures. Although there are new features included in the cult, it has never lost its local identity. The essence of the thesis is the journey of the goddess in Pessinus, first to Pergamon and then to the City of Rome. The cult was evaluated in the Pessinus-Pergamon-Rome triangle, in the light of the political events of the Hellenistic Period. In this direction, besides the philological sources, mainly archaeological and epigraphic data were used.
