volume of the Etudes priliminaires aux religions orientales dans l'empire romain, it has become almost painfully evident to me that there exists no generally accepted standard for the recognition of this god in art, and that the most extremely variable iconographic types have in the course of the last fifty or so years been taken as representing this divinity, sometimes with little or no apparent justification. It seems to me therefore an indispensable preliminary step, if we are ever to construct a meaningful corpus of this material, to determine rather rigorously what is to be included and what excluded. We must try to determine what kind of a representation the artisan would have used the word Sabazius for when he was making it, and the average ancient observer would have designated Sabazius when he saw it
