Aedicula

/ˌiːˈdɪkjʊlə/ noun

Definition

A small shrine, chapel, or sacred enclosure, especially one in ancient Roman architecture that housed a statue or religious image.

Etymology

From Latin 'aedicula', diminutive of 'aedes' (building/temple), literally meaning 'little building'. Used in Roman architecture and archaeology to describe small devotional structures.

Kelly Says

Roman cities were dotted with thousands of tiny aeditulae where ordinary people could leave offerings to household gods—archaeological excavations have revealed these everywhere, showing that everyday Romans were just as devoted to religion as we are today, just in miniature!
