520 |a The region of Upper Macedonia (Macedonia’s north-western extremity, which was frequently referred to in ancient sources) became a field of controversy, fusions and syncretism over the course of its history due to its distinct geographical location and the diversity of its population. The region consisted of a mainly rural population despite having some urban centres. This population maintained its tribal and cultural characteristics until Late Antiquity. The four member areas Elimeia, Eordaia, Orestis and Lyncestis formed a conservative yet active core, annexing or de-annexing regions in accordance with historical developments shaped by ambitious rulers desirous of expanding their dominion. Apart from sites where sanctuaries would be expected, for example, in urban centres or the sites of identified settlements, such as Aiane, Heraclea Lyncestis, Petres and Eratyra, the other attested sanctuaries of Upper Macedonia are located: a) on the crests of hills or on mountaintops (sanctuaries of Zeus Hypsistos); b) at hubs, probably as the result of a cult’s wide influence (sanctuaries of Apollo), and c) in passages, because of a cult’s dissemination (sanctuaries of Enodia). Thus, sanctuary locations follow the general geographical distribution of cities and settlements. According to the present excavation data, these sanctuaries do not display monumentality, which is a characteristic of the Macedonian region.
