  • THE PONTIFICAL LAW of the ROMAN REPUBLIC by MICHAEL
    THE PONTIFICAL LAW OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC by MICHAEL JOSEPH JOHNSON A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Classics written under the direct of T. Corey Brennan and approved by ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2007 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Pontifical Law of the Roman Republic by MICHAEL JOSEPH JOHNSON Dissertation Director: T. Corey Brennan This dissertation investigates the guiding principle of arguably the most important religious authority in ancient Rome, the pontifical college. Chapter One introduces the subject and discusses the hypothesis the dissertation will advance. Chapter Two examines the place of the college within Roman law and religion, giving particular attention to disproving several widely held notions about the relationship of the pontifical law to the civil and sacral law. Chapter Three offers the first detailed examination of the duties of the pontifical college as a collective body. I spend the bulk of the chapter analyzing two of the three collegiate duties I identify: the issuing of documents known as decrees and responses and the supervision of the Vestal Virgins. I analyze all decrees and responses from the point of view their content, treating first those that concern dedications, then those on the calendar, and finally those on vows. In doing so my goal is to understand the reasoning behind the decree and the major theological doctrines underpinning it. In documenting the pontifical supervision of Vestal Virgins I focus on the college's actions towards a Vestal accused of losing her chastity.

  • Politics and Priesthoods in Late Republican Rome
    POLITICS AND PRIESTHOODS IN LATE REPUBLICAN ROME By Jonathon George David Rolfe A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Master of Arts University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand November 2015 Cover photo: The Roman Nuministic Gallery, ‘CAESAR DICT PERPETUO, silver denarius, ca. 44 BC (posthumous)’ from a private collection <http://www.romancoins.info/Imperatorial-caesar.HTML> Consulted on 12th October 2015. ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the influence of the two major priestly colleges in late republican Rome, the pontificate and the augurate, and aims to explain why membership was valued so highly by members of the Roman élite. Chapter one discusses the exclusive selection process for the priests and the aristocratic prerequisites for membership. In light of the changes to the way priests were selected, resulting from the lex Domitia in 104 BC, this chapter explores the extent to which these offices can be seen as either inherited family rights or political prizes granted through the support of powerful figures like Sulla or Caesar. The second and third chapters consider whether the pontiffs and augurs respectively had significant constitutional ‘hard powers’, comparing their influence to the central religious authority of magistrates and the senate. The collective influence of the pontifical college is examined in the second chapter by assessing their involvement in the decision to reverse the dedication of a shrine on the site of Cicero’s house in 57 BC. This discussion will also analyse the influence of the young individual pontiff, L. Pinarius Natta, who assisted the tribune Clodius at the dedication ceremony in 58 BC.

V6T 1W5, Canada September 4, 1974 ii ABSTRACT In Part One the composition of Book 45 of Livy's Ab Urbe Condita is studied and an attempt is made to trace portions of the book to a small number of principal sources. It is demonstrated that Livy used the work of the Greek historian Polybius for his account of Roman activities in the Hellenistic east and for Roman relations with the Hellenistic states. Livy's Latin sources in this book were the Sullan annalists Valerius Antias and Q. Claudius Quadrigarius, of whom Claudius may have been the more prominent. Livy used these late annalists for his account of events in Rome and the west, and for administrative details such as lists of magistrates.

  • Radikale Im Öffentlichen Dienst
    RADIKALE IM ÖFFENTLICHEN DIENST STATUS UND INDIVIDUALISIERUNG UNTER RÖMISCHEN PRIESTERN REPUBLIKANISCHER ZEIT Jörg Rüpke, Erfurt 1 EINFÜHRUNG Aus der Vielzahl normal erscheinender magistratischer und priesterlicher „Karrie- ren“ in der uns historisch zugänglichen römischen Republik des dritten bis ersten Jahrhunderts v. Chr. ragen einige Fälle heraus, die eine überraschende und oft isoliert bleibende Radikalisierung traditioneller Priesterrollen erkennen lassen. Ich möchte diese Fälle, die ich in einer früheren Arbeit als Belege für die „Flüssig- keit“ und Anpassungsfähigkeit von „Sakralrecht“ – einem aus genau diesem Grunde wenig geeigneten Begriff – benutzt habe,1 erneut kurz vorstellen, ergän- zen und auf zwei andere Dimensionen aufmerksam machen, die weitreichende Konsequenzen für unser Verständnis spätrepublikanischer Religion haben. Ausgangspunkt für die erneute Durchsicht des Materials ist ein Versäumnis, auf das R. Baudry in seiner soeben bei J.-M. David in Paris entstandenen Disserta- tion2 aufmerksam gemacht hat: Die Vernachlässigung des Faktors „Patriziat“ für die späte Republik. Während sich jene Arbeit ganz auf die magistratische Karriere konzentriert, seien hier die genannten Radikalisierungen bei Priestern, bei sacer- dotes publici unter dieser Status-Perspektive neu interpretiert. 2 NEUINTERPRETATIONEN VON PRIESTERROLLEN Die Ereignisse, die die Basis meiner Überlegungen bilden, lassen sich in drei Gruppen zusammenfassen. Der vor allem in monatlichen Routineritualen an den Iden und in einigen jähr- lich begangenen Kultakten tätige Flamen Dialis, aber auch die beiden anderen flamines maiores, nämlich der Flamen Martialis und der Flamen Quirinalis – je nach einem Gott (Iuppiter, Mars, Quirinus) benannt, aber nicht auf deren Kult beschränkt – unterlagen einer Fülle von Verhaltensvorschriften. In der antiquari- schen Überlieferung sind entsprechende Nachrichten auf den Flamen Dialis kon- 1 RÜPKE, Fasti sacerdotum, 1569–86 (im Folgenden mit FS = Fasti sacerdotum und Nummer der Biographie zitiert).

  • The Vestals – Women’S Empowerment
    Working Paper CEsA CSG 167/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS THE VESTALS – WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Vestals had political and religious power in ancient Rome. Their peaceful presence at the forum was one of the first attempts (if not the first) in favor of gender equality or women’s empowerment in the public sphere. Vestals were virgin priestesses of a goddess that protected the walls of Rome with her perpetual fire, which was pure and had no statue. Their rituals were based on legends such as Amata or Rhea Silvia that, regardless of being true or not, were religious and cultural references for people's lives and should not be neglected, because they contain information that explains why the State respected the vestals and punished them so severely. Keywords Vestals, Roman Antiquity, Politics, Religion. Sumário Na antiguidade romana, as vestais tinham poder político-religioso. A sua presença pacificadora, no fórum, foi uma das primeiras tentativas (se não a primeira) das mulheres alcançarem algum tipo de igualdade de género ou autoridade na cena pública. As vestais eram sacerdotisas virgens de uma deusa que protegia os muros de Roma com o seu fogo perpétuo, que era pura e não tinha estátua. Os seus rituais eram baseados em lendas, tais como de Amata ou de Reia Sílvia, que independentemente de terem existido ou não, eram referências religiosas e culturais. As suas histórias influenciavam a vida das pessoas e não devem ser negligenciadas, pois contêm informações que explicam as razões pelas quais o Estado respeitava tanto as vestais e as punia tão severamente.
