The divinities which had penetrated all the layers of the Roman society for a long time and those venerated exclusively by Microasiates are differenciated. To the first category belong Magna deum Mater, identified in most cases with Kybele, followed by Sabazios and Men. To the second category belong Adrastia, Iupiter Bussurigius, Iupiter Cernenus, Iupiter Cimistenus, Iupiter Erusenus, Iupiter Tavianus, Ζεὺς Ἑπτακωμικός, Ζεὺς Ναρηνός, Ζεὺς Σαρδενδηνός, Ζεὺς Σύργαστος, Μήτηρ Τροκλιμηνή.
