  • Magic in Private and Public Lives of the Ancient Romans
    COLLECTANEA PHILOLOGICA XXIII, 2020: 53–72 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1733-0319.23.04 Idaliana KACZOR Uniwersytet Łódzki MAGIC IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LIVES OF THE ANCIENT ROMANS The Romans practiced magic in their private and public life. Besides magical practices against the property and lives of people, the Romans also used generally known and used protective and healing magic. Sometimes magical practices were used in official religious ceremonies for the safety of the civil and sacral community of the Romans. Keywords: ancient magic practice, homeopathic magic, black magic, ancient Roman religion, Roman religious festivals MAGIE IM PRIVATEN UND ÖFFENTLICHEN LEBEN DER ALTEN RÖMER Die Römer praktizierten Magie in ihrem privaten und öffentlichen Leben. Neben magische Praktik- en gegen das Eigentum und das Leben von Menschen, verwendeten die Römer auch allgemein bekannte und verwendete Schutz- und Heilmagie. Manchmal wurden magische Praktiken in offiziellen religiösen Zeremonien zur Sicherheit der bürgerlichen und sakralen Gemeinschaft der Römer angewendet. Schlüsselwörter: alte magische Praxis, homöopathische Magie, schwarze Magie, alte römi- sche Religion, Römische religiöse Feste Magic, despite our sustained efforts at defining this term, remains a slippery and obscure concept. It is uncertain how magic has been understood and practised in differ- ent cultural contexts and what the difference is (if any) between magical and religious praxis. Similarly, no satisfactory and all-encompassing definition of ‘magic’ exists. It appears that no singular concept of ‘magic’ has ever existed: instead, this polyvalent notion emerged at the crossroads of local custom, religious praxis, superstition, and politics of the day. Individual scholars of magic, positioning themselves as ostensi- bly objective observers (an etic perspective), mostly defined magic in opposition to religion and overemphasised intercultural parallels over differences1.

I would especially like to thank my advisor, Professor Andrea Berlin, for all her help and advice at all stages of the production process as well as for suggesting the topic to me in the first place. I would also like to thank all the members of my dissertation committee (Professor Susan Herbert of the University of Michigan, as well as Professors Philip Sellew and Nita Krevans of the University of Minnesota) for all their help and support. During the writing process, I benefitted greatly from a George A. Barton fellowship to the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem in the fall of 2009. I would like to thank the fellowship committee for giving me such a wonderful and productive opportunity that helped me greatly in this endeavour as well as the staff of the Albright for their aid and support. I would also like to thank both Dr. Donald Ariel of the Israel Antiquities Authority for his aid in getting access to the material and his valuable advice in ways of looking at it and Peter Stone of the University of Cincinnati whose discussions on his work on the pottery from Kedesh helped to illuminate various curious aspects of my own.

By this I mean the images and words depicted within the mosaic were perceived as devices to attract powers from a supernatural dimension, for the benefit of those that walked over the mosaic or the building that housed it. The thesis is ultimately a discussion of the Byzantines’ beliefs in the power of art and text, and how they were believed to intervene and affect everyday life.

When you dive into the research required for a historical novel written on this scale, it’s tremendously exciting; whole new worlds unfold as you follow one fascinating link to another, going further and further back in time to unravel the story of Rome’s origins. The research was anything but dull, because the ancient “The ancient historians had a keen sense of storytelling. They wanted to keep their audience enthralled from first page to last, historians had so the accounts they’ve given us are full of all the “good a keen sense of stuff”—tales of heroism and treachery, rape and storytelling.” revenge, hope and heartbreak. The people who built Rome into the greatest city on earth—warlords, slaves, vestal virgins, rabble-rousing politicians, scheming millionaires—still live for us today because the human drama of their lives still touches us. How did you move beyond the research into the actual writing? Creating the novel presented a great challenge, given the immense sweep (a span of a thousand years), the sheer number of characters, and the huge historical and political issues involved.

Naked Power: The Phallus as an Apotropaic Symbol in the Images and Texts of Roman Italy Abstract Representations of the phallus abound in both the art and the literature of the first-century A.D. Roman world. On frescoes in both private homes and public buildings, on amulets, statues, etchings, tripods, drinking cups and vases, exaggerated phallic images, these purportedly apotropaic symbols protect the inhabitant, the passerby, the wearer, the user from outside evil. The contemporary Latin literature, Roman satire and elegy in particular (Catullus, Martial, Juvenal, Horace, Tibullus), and the Priapea, a collection of poems about the phallic god Priapus, offer descriptions of the phallus and its functions that both coincide with and differ from the material examples. This paper will investigate these correspondences and discrepancies between verbal and artistic representation, and, in particular, what these similarities and inconsistencies reveal about the public function of this private imagery in the contemporary culture of ancient Roman Italy.

  • Armando Pappalardo Dizionario Di Scienze Occulte
    MANUALI HOEPLI ARMANDO PAPPALARDO DIZIONARIO DI SCIENZE OCCULTE SECONDA EDIZIONE RIVEDUTA E CORRETTA ULRICO HOEPLI EDITORE-LIBRAIO DELLA REAL CASA MILANO 1922 PROPRIETA' LETTERARIA Unione Tipografica - Corso Romana, 98 – Milano PREFAZIONE Questa piccola enciclopedia di quanto concerne le scienze occulte, dalla magia allo spiritismo, dalla demonologia alla telepatia, non ha punto la pretesa di essere un'opera compiuta. Per questo le fa difetto sopratutto l'estensione: chi volesse accingersi ad una tale fatica dovrebbe dedicarvi un volume ben più ponderoso. La mia pretesa è assai più modesta. Io ho voluto, prima di ogni altro, essere di sussidio a quante persone, anche colte, leggendo qualche opera speciale, si possano trovare talvolta al cospetto di vocaboli di cui ignorino il significato e che vanamente ricercherebbero in dizionari generali, o di nomi di persone di cui non conoscano le opere. Secondariamente ho voluto segnare, a grandi linee, una bibliografia di queste curiose ricerche che da secoli affaticano l'umano pensiero. Dimodo che il presente lavoro dovrebbe poter costituire, oltre che un libro di consultazione, anche una non noiosa ed inutile lettura, sostituendosi a molti e molto voluminosi e polverosi libri, che non tutti hanno il tempo, il gusto e la possibilità di ricercare. Gli specialisti, quindi, non pure non troveranno nulla di nuovo in questo dizionario, ma vi noteranno molte manchevolezze, di gran parte delle quali io per il primo mi sono accorto. Mi valgano di scusa le dimensioni del lavoro, la modestia dello scopo e la con- [VI] statazione che il presente lavoro è il primo del genere ai giorni nostri. Gli scrittori che sinora si sono occupati di occultismo tendevano o a far credere sicure certe pratiche o a combatterle come ereticali: sono perciò o dogmatici o polemici.

  • 3. Camillo Sitte's City Planning According to Artistic Principles Ends
    Scattergories 3 Questions by Will Nediger and Jaimie Carlson Round 6 1. A “mountain” one of these objects titles the magnum opus of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš [pet-roh- vitch-nyay-gohsh], surely the most important work of Montenegrin literature. The top prize given at the Struga Poetry Evenings is named for one of these objects. An Emily Brontë poem written from the perspective of the Queen of Gondal addresses one of these objects “of snow.” The shape of these objects is suggested by the rhyme scheme of a George Herbert poem about one of these objects “of deservèd praise.” The titles of a set of fifteen poems by the Slovene poet France Prešeren [fron- TSEH preh-SHAY-ren] and a book of poems about (*) Emmett Till by Marilyn Nelson exemplify the fact that crowns of sonnets are often named for these objects. The Greek Anthology is based on a now-lost anthology by Meleager of Gadara named for one of these objects. For 10 points, the word “anthology” means a collection of flowers because of Meleager’s comparison of the poems he collected to what circular decorative objects? ANSWER: wreaths [or garlands] <WN> 2. A novel of spiritual disillusionment by Étienne Pivert de Senancour inspired this author’s poems “Stanzas in Memory of the Author of Obermann” and “Obermann Once More.” This author defined religion as “morality touched with emotion.” This poet wrote about how “rigorous teachers seized my youth, and purged its faith” in a poem which dramatizes a loss of faith with its image of “wandering between two (*) worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born.” This man’s rejection of Christianity’s supernatural elements was influenced by his father Thomas, who was the headmaster of Rugby School.

Pinckernelle, ‘The Iconography of Ancient Greek and Roman Jewellery’ Abstract This work will examine the various forms of symbolism and iconography in jewellery from ancient Greece1 and Rome. It sets out to elucidate and place into the appropriate cultural context the motifs represented in jewellery from these civilisations. The work is largely divided into three parts. The first part, itself divided into sections dedicated to Greece (with Etruria as an afterthought) and Rome respectively, discusses the symbolism and iconography by introducing the most important deities and making the connection between them and the motifs occurring in jewellery. Naturally, a selection had to be made regarding the motifs: although the aim is to give a fairly broad overview and include more than just the most standard motifs, the examination cannot, for obvious reasons, extend to designs only singularly occurring in jewellery. It follows that the list of motifs discussed is by no means exhaustive yet some rarely ever examined motifs such as the tortoise, for example, are given space for consideration.

  • The Materiality of Magic
    DIETRICH BOSCHUNG AND JAN N. BREMMER (EDS.) THE MATERIALITY OF MAGIC MORPHOMATA The Materiality of Magic is an exciting new book about an aspect of magic that is usually neglected. In the last two decades we have had many books and proceedings of conferences on the concept of magic itself as well as its history, formulas and incantations in antiquity, both in East and West. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the material that was used by the magicians for their conjuring activities. This is the first book of its kind that focuses on the material aspects of magic, such as amulets, drawings, figurines, gems, grimoires, rings, and voodoo dolls. The practice of magic required a specialist expertise that knew how to handle material such as lead, gold, stones, papyrus and terra cotta—material that sometimes was used for specific genres of magic. That is why we present in this well illustrated collection of studies new insights on the materiality of magic in antiquity by studying both the materials used for magic as well as the books in which the expertise was preserved. The main focus of the book is on antiquity, but we complement and contrast our material with examples ranging from the Ancient Near East, via early modern Europe, to the present time.
