Summary:

This book introduces one of the highest situated pagan sanctuaries of the ancient world, located on the famous Hochtor pass in Austria, 2590 meters above sea level, and puts archaeological findings in context with natural and environmental circumstances, with inscriptions, literature from ancient historians and results from numismatics and toponymy as well. So it provides a holistic view on the eastern alps and plenty of new aspects on its history, topography and religion--publisher.
