  • 1 the Politics of the Arena
    THE POLITICS OF THE ARENA 1 1 The Politics of the Arena Origin and Growth of Games The great games of the ancient Mediterranean grew out of religious holidays to become spectacular celebrations of the divine pantheon, events that not only called upon divine support to ensure continued prosperity for the state, but also offered an elaborate, formalized series of actions that encouraged, even required, the participation of an expanded human audience. These spectacles tended to follow a standard format of procession, sacrifice, and games. The procession, the first part of the festival, was, practically speaking, a means of conveying the worshipers, the officiants, and their implements of worship to the sacred space of the altar or temple. To enhance the ritual quality of the movement, the procession followed a specific, religiously significant pathway; the personnel were arranged in a specific order; the participants wore particular kinds of clothing, spoke or sang ritual words. These guidelines could involve sacrificial animals in the procession as well, who not only would be draped in wreaths or ribbons, to set them apart from “common” animals, to make them “sacred”, but also were meant to conform to certain kinds of behavior: they had to seem willing to approach the altar, and cult officials who accompanied them made sure of this. The procession was followed by the sacrifice. Sacrifice was the basic act of Graeco-Roman religion, establishing a positive relationship between deity and worshiper through the offering of a gift; this could mean the immolation of an animal, the pouring of a wine or oil libation, or setting cakes or flowers on the god’s altar for his enjoyment.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • 20 Religion As a Key Factor for Resilience: from Rome to Constantinople
    20-II Religion as a Key Factor for Resilience: From Rome to Constantinople 11:50 - 13:20 Wednesday, 1st September, 2021 Giorgio Ferri 261 Notes on the Carmina Marciana and the Calendrical Position of the Ludi Apollinares Gianmarco Grantaliano Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Spain. Università "Sapienza", Roma, Italy Abstract In 212 BC, in the middle of the Second Punic War, the ludi Apollinares were established iby a prescription by the carmina Marciana. The two carmina, built post eventum after the battle of Cannae, set in competition with the official Roman religion, particularly with the priesthood of the decemviri sacris faciundis that consulted the libri Sybillini after an express order by the Senate. After the first celebration, the ludi became yearly in 208 BC and took place in July (Quintilis) 13th. The aim of my study is to try to discuss the calendrical position of the ludi and their relationship with the other festivities of the Roman calendar (e.g. dies Alliensis, transvectio equitum, nonae Caprotinae, etc.) and, consequently, with the history of the city. I will try to demonstrate how the calendrical position itself was a quick response that Rome was able to give in one of the worst moments of the war. Moreover, I will try to demonstrate some possible consequences of that resilience that necessarily altered the representation of the power relationships in Rome’s political and religious structures. 128 The End of Imperial Cult in Hispania: Religious Change and Transition Noelia Cases Mora Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain Abstract The chronology and development of the Imperial cult are one of the most valuable signals of political and religious change.

  • African Women in the Gladiatorial Games of Rome
    “Usually, when people talk about the "strength" of black women . they ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.” – Bell Hooks* African Women in the Gladiatorial Games of Rome By Marjorie Charlot y interest in finding African women who were gladiators, or who were forced M to take part in arena games in history, began after watching the film Gladiator. This film starring the actor Russell Crowe showed a black woman driving a chariot around the Roman coliseum. I found this fascinating, as I had never heard of female gladiators, let alone of black women, fighting in the arena. Despite extensive inquiry into the subject, the names of these women regrettably are lost to history. However, I discovered that Ethiopian men and women, and in one case even children, were thrown into the arena to participate in this heinous form of entertainment. Women took part in gladiatorial combat under diverse circumstances; they had to take a stand for their own or for others’ freedom, or pay a price for their beliefs and, in doing so, showed remarkable bravery. Although some women would willingly take part in the gladiatorial games, it is clear that many women and men were forced to participate. A Brief History To say the games held in the arenas of ancient Roma were violent would be an understatement. The Romans’ thirst for blood and violence knew no boundaries, for no one was Sankofa Griotte Journal (Vol.1, No.1): 4 -21.

  • Augustus - the Engineering of Belief & the Pax Deorum Part 2 in a Serial Study of the Pax Deorum
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies- Volume 5, Issue 2 – Pages 79-88 Augustus - The Engineering of Belief & the Pax Deorum Part 2 in a Serial Study of the Pax Deorum David P. Wick The Emperor Augustus would believe at the end of his life that he had rekindled at least a functioning image of the archaic Roman religious spirit in the major arteries of his empire and at least in its Greek and Italian regions, and in his city. His contemporaries seem to have agreed that they could see this happening, even when they acknowledged it as an act of propaganda in some sort. Modern scholars have been more inclined to see through it, or to see only the propaganda, or an event staged by a managed, state religion. My intent in this study – the second of three parts (Wick (2019a & 2019b) – has been to examine the attempt by Augustus to stage (before and during the year 17 of the old era) what he hoped or argued would be a transformative event, one that might re-create the family religious solidarity and wholeness of community he and his wife believed the Roman world needed to survive. This study focuses on the design of the Saeculares event itself – its use of ‘captive’ popular literature, themes of family and repentance in ritual acts, objects and liturgy, uses of the symbolic teaching nature of spaces in the Roman cityscape, and the participation of Augustus and his wife themselves (and their use of their own property in the cityscape to press the redeeming nature of the rather non-Roman god Apollo) as well as the Greek birth-deity Eilithyia.

  • Roman Ludi Saeculares from the Republic to Empire
    Roman Ludi Saeculares from the Republic to Empire by Susan Christine Bilynskyj Dunning A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto © Susan Christine Bilynskyj Dunning 2016 Roman Ludi Saeculares from the Republic to Empire Susan Christine Bilynskyj Dunning Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Roman Ludi Saeculares, or “Saecular Games”, from their mythic founding in the sixth century bce until their final celebration in 248 ce. The Ludi Saeculares were a series of religious celebrations held at Rome every saeculum (“age”, “generation”), an interval of 100 or 110 years. The argument contains two major threads: an analysis of the origins and development of the Ludi Saeculares themselves, and the use of the term saeculum in imperial rhetoric in literary, epigraphic, and numismatic sources from early Republic to the fifth century ce. First, an investigation into Republican sacrifices that constitute part of the lineage of the Ludi Saeculares reveals that these rites were in origin called “Ludi Tarentini”, and were a Valerian gentilician cult that came under civic supervision in 249 bce. Next, it is shown that in his Saecular Games of 17 bce, Augustus appropriated the central rites of the Valerian cult, transforming them into “Ludi Saeculares” through a new association with the concept of the saeculum, and thereby asserting his role as restorer of the Republic and founder of a new age. The argument then turns to the development of saeculum rhetoric throughout the imperial period, intertwined with the history of the Ludi Saeculares.

  • Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the 'Founders' of Rome
    Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the ‘Founders’ of Rome: Depicting Characters in the Roman Antiquities by Beatrice Poletti A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Languages Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Beatrice Poletti, 2018 ABSTRACT In my thesis, I analyze Dionysius’s presentation of some of the most celebrated characters of Rome’s early past: Aeneas, Romulus, Numa Pompilius, L. Junius Brutus, and M. Furius Camillus. The thesis is composed of Five Chapters, an introduction, and a conclusion. In Chapter 1, I describe the background to Dionysius’s arrival in Rome, focusing on the literary milieu of the capital. In Chapter 2, I discuss Dionysius’s work and the ideas underlying the conception of the Roman Antiquities. In Chapter 3, I examine Dionysius’s account of the Aeneas legend. I deal with the legends of Romulus and Numa, respectively, at Chapters 4.1.1 and 4.2, and 4.1.2 and 4.3. My analysis of the stories of L. Junius Brutus and M. Furius Camillus occupies Chapters 5.1 and 5.2. I have chosen these characters for my study because of their significance in the Romans’ conception of their early past and their association with key events and institutions of Roman history, as well as the political meaning which their figures eventually acquired. By Dionysius’s time, all these characters (with the exception of L. Brutus) had come to embody the qualities and political virtues of the princeps. Aeneas was the progenitor of the Roman race as well as Augustus’s personal ancestor through his adoption into the gens Julia.
