Haec Templa: Religion in Cicero’s Orations A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY NICHOLAS ROBERT WAGNER IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Spencer Cole April 2019 © NICHOLAS WAGNER 2019 Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my advisor, Spencer Cole, who provided helpful feedback and recommendations throughout the entire process of this dissertation and deserves singular acknowledgement. The project originated with a 2013 course on Roman religion. That, along with numerous meetings and emails, has been fundamental to my approach to the subject. I would also like to thank my other committee members, Christopher Nappa, Andrew Gallia, and Richard Graff, all of whom provided immensely useful feedback at various stages, both in the scope of the project and future directions to train my attention. Next, thanks are due to the faculty and the graduate students in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Minnesota. Their support over the years has been invaluable, both academically and socially. Special thanks are due to current student Joshua Reno and former student Rachael Cullick. Lunches with them, where they patiently heard my ideas in its earliest stages, will be ever-cherished. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and siblings for their endless support over the years. Sometimes a nice meal or a break at the movies is exactly what was needed. i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my parents and their parents. ii Table of Contents Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 1 Cicero and Lived Religion ........................................................................................................ -

The Belly and the Limbs: Reconsidering the Idea of a Plebeian “State Within the State” in the Early Roman Republic DISSERTAT
The Belly and the Limbs: Reconsidering the Idea of a Plebeian “State Within the State” in the Early Roman Republic DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory George Pellam, Jr. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Nathan Rosenstein, Advisor Professor Greg Anderson Professor Kristina Sessa Copyright by Gregory George Pellam, Jr. 2012 Abstract This dissertation offers a reevaluation of a long-standing model for the early history of the Roman Republic. Modern scholars have generally believed that the Roman plebs in the first two centuries of the Republic (roughly the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.) was essentially a revolutionary political organization, dedicated to increasing the rights and opportunities of plebeians and overthrowing the patrician monopoly over political, social, religious, and economic power. According to this model, a series of institutions which were dominated by patrician authority (the consulship, the senate, the centuriate assembly) represented the state, and the plebeian organization created its own institutions to mirror these (the tribunes and aediles of the plebs, and a plebeian tribal assembly). Further, the plebs established for itself an administrative center for its political activities on the Aventine hill. They even created their own cult center in the temple of Ceres, Liber, and Libera, to mirror the “state” cult of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva on the Capitoline. This plebeian organization is often referred to in modern scholarship as a “state within the state”. It is shown, however, that the evidence for the plebeian “state within the state” does not stand careful scrutiny. -

Lorenzo Pubblici Ph.D. Midterm Study Guide 1.The Etruscans: Italy 9th-5th centuries BC • The Villanovan civilization: • Early Iron Age, 9th-8th centuries BC, the Villanovan culture characterized all the Tyrrhenian Etruria, Emilia Romagna (particularly the area of Bologna and Rimini), Marche, Campania and Lucania (see map. 1) • Between Tuscany, Latium, Emilia, and some areas of Campania and the Po Valley, the Villanovan settlements are thick: one every 5-15km, on every hill that could be well defended, near water sources, smaller settlements along the coasts and the Apennines mounts. Map. 1 • 9th century: Villanovan settlements are well distributed in Central Italy, homogenous from a material point of view. • Oldest mention of the Villanovan civilization is in Hesiod, Teogonia (8-7th centuries BC): Tutti i popoli illustri della Tirrenia: all the non-Greek peoples of Italy . • Earlier inscriptions show an oriental alphabet, influenced by the Greeks. • A slow, progressive process of consolidation in the Italian Peninsula What we know about the Villanovan and their relation to the Etruscans It’s very hard to name a “civilization”, an ethnic group, the Villanovans, since all we know from them is from archaeological findings, their material culture. • We know that there were local cultures spread in Italy, basically nomads between the bronze (circa BC3500-1200) and the iron age (circa BC12th-8th centuries). • The earlier unions of peoples that we call Villanovan, arise in these centuries. Particularly along the Tuscan coasts, because they were very rich of iron and minerals, in fact the Villanova, such as the early Etruscans, were merchant civilizations. -

En concreto, entre los principales cometidos asignados a los magistrados dotados de imperium se encuentra el de 159 www.ridrom.uclm.es Abril - 2010 presentar una rogatio o propuesta de ley ante los comicios1, previa convocatoria de los mismos en virtud del denominado ius agendi cum populo2. Esta rogatio consistía en una interrogación dirigida al pueblo, y éste debía responder, bien adhiriéndose, bien rechazando la interpelación del magistrado3. La rogatio propuesta por el magistrado era objeto de votación en los comitia centuriata, debiendo contar a posteriori con la anuencia del Senado. En el iter que recorre la propuesta, tras la votación comicial, se requiere, por tanto, la actuación senatorial mediante la prestación de la auctoritas patrum, pues entendemos que es necesario que las decisiones que emanan del 1 DE FRANCISCICI, Storia del diritto romano, I, Milano, 1943, pp. 305, 306; GROSSO, Lezioni di storia del diritto romano, 5ª ed. revis. y ampl., Torino, 1965, p. 222; DE MARTINO, Storia della costituzione romana, I, 2ª ed., Napoli, 1972, p. 295; ARANGIO-RUÍZ, Historia del derecho romano, trad. 2ª ed., de F. de Pelsmaeker e Ibáñez, 4ª ed., Madrid, 1980, p. -

We will only fi nd a relevant fragment in the second commentary of Gaius’ Institutiones and a short text Pro herede vel pro possessore in the 41st book of Justinian’s Digesta. The paper focuses on the exegesis of the fi rst of the sources. According to the institution of usucapion in place of an heir, anybody who possessed any goods belonging to an inheritance could acquire the inheritance within a year. Therefore, the main purpose of the institution seemed to be determining who was going to be responsible for continuing the domestic worship (sacra familiaria). When the sacra had lost their social signifi cance, usucapio pro herede changed its subject to the goods that belonged to an inheritance, not the inherit- ance as such. In classical Roman law, usucapion in place of an heir started to be considered a dishon- ourable legal institution. Emperor Hadrian marginalised usucapio pro herede through a decree of the senate sponsored by him. The senatus consultum made usucapion possible to reverse by the actual heir. Emperor Marcus Aurelius introduced a new crime, the crimen expilatae hereditatis, which consisted in taking over goods that belonged to someone else’s inheritance.
