  • Coriolanus and Fortuna Muliebris Roger D. Woodard
    Coriolanus and Fortuna Muliebris Roger D. Woodard Know, Rome, that all alone Marcius did fight Within Corioli gates: where he hath won, With fame, a name to Caius Marcius; these In honour follows Coriolanus. William Shakespeare, Coriolanus Act 2 1. Introduction In recent work, I have argued for a primitive Indo-European mythic tradition of what I have called the dysfunctional warrior – a warrior who, subsequent to combat, is rendered unable to function in the role of protector within his own society.1 The warrior’s dysfunctionality takes two forms: either he is unable after combat to relinquish his warrior rage and turns that rage against his own people; or the warrior isolates himself from society, removing himself to some distant place. In some descendent instantiations of the tradition the warrior shows both responses. The myth is characterized by a structural matrix which consists of the following six elements: (1) initial presentation of the crisis of the warrior; (2) movement across space to a distant locale; (3) confrontation between the warrior and an erotic feminine, typically a body of women who display themselves lewdly or offer themselves sexually to the warrior (figures of fecundity); (4) clairvoyant feminine who facilitates or mediates in this confrontation; (5) application of waters to the warrior; and (6) consequent establishment of societal order coupled often with an inaugural event. These structural features survive intact in most of the attested forms of the tradition, across the Indo-European cultures that provide us with the evidence, though with some structural adjustment at times. I have proposed that the surviving myths reflect a ritual structure of Proto-Indo-European date and that descendent ritual practices can also be identified.

  • Roman Religion
    4 Roman Religion 1. “By pietas and fides the Romans Reached TheiR PResent eminence” the strength of Rome rested on a number of foundations. Among these were its extraordinarily vital political culture and its capacity to sustain warfare for extended periods of time. Previous chapters have emphasized these features, but in this chapter and the next, focus shifts to less obvious sources of Rome’s strength, namely the special character of its society whose dual foundations were the household and the civic religion of the city. Roman Religiosity during the period of the Republic, outsiders were struck by the religiosity of the Romans. In the second century b.c., Polybius, a Greek statesman and historian who lived much of his adult life in Rome, claimed that it was “scrupulous fear of the gods that kept the Roman commonwealth together” (6.56). A century or so later another expatriate Greek, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, was also impressed by the concern of Romans for religion. Writing about the second king of Rome, dionysius noted that as a result of Numa’s activities, Rome possessed more religious observances than any other city “Greek or non-Greek, even among those who thought of themselves as most god- fearing” (2.63). Needless to say, Romans themselves promoted the belief that fidelity to their oaths and treaties and their general reverence for the gods explained their imperial success. “the gods look kindly on these qualities, for it was by pietas and fides that Romans reached their present eminence” declared the consul Q. Marcius Philippus in 169 b.c.

I would like to thank Professor George for the opportunity to work on the site of Cavità 254 and for introducing me to the world of the Etruscans during my time at Saint Anselm College. I am forever grateful for Professor George’s mentorship that motivated me to pursue a graduate degree in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies at Brandeis University. I would also like to thank Doctor Paolo Binaco a fantastic teacher, friend, and archaeologist. Paolo has guided me in the right direction, while simultaneously sparking excitement in asking new questions about our unique site. Thank you, Paolo, for the unforgettable adventures to see Orvieto’s “pyramids” and for teaching me everything Etruscan. This thesis would not be possible without the immense support of the Department of Classical Studies at Brandeis. I especially would like to thank my Advisor Professor Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow for her enthusiastic support of my project from its early beginnings and always pushing me to better my writing and research.

GIOVANNI BARDI TIPOGRAFO DELLA R. ACCADEMIA NAZIONALE DEI LINCEI 1927 RELAZIONE letta dal Socio L. PERNIER, anche a nome del Socio R. PARIBENI, nella seduta del 21 giugno 1925, sulla memoria della sig.na L. Morpurgo, avente per titolo: Bronci romani inediti del Museo delle Terme. Nello scritto presentato per la pubblicazione nelle Memorie della nostra Acca- demia la signorina dottoressa Morpurgo illustra due piccoli bronzi delle collezioni del Museo Nazionale Romano. È il primo un'ascia martello in bronzo disgraziata- mente non intatta, decorata con ornamenti geometrici e con figure a rilievo di Vittoria e di Attis. La materia prescelta e le ornamentazioni rivelano che non si tratta di un ordinario strumento da lavoro. Con saggio ragionamento corredato di buona dottrina l'autrice pensa, che il martello possa aver servito alla cerimonia della clavifixio, che esso abbia relazione col culto della Dea etnisca Nortia, venerata in special modo a Bolsena, alla quale rinnovata, e confusa con l'asiatica Cibele nella grande invasione di culti orientali, accennerebbe la figura di Attis. L' altro oggetto illustrato è una statuina di bronzo nella quale 1' autrice propone di riconoscere un centurione romano con le sue caratteristiche di armamento e di costume. Data l'importanza degli oggetti illustrati, e la attendibilità dei risultati raggiunti, ci sembra lo scritto della signorina dott. Morpurgo degno di essere accolto nelle Memorie della nostra Accademia.

It has been accepted for inclusion in New England Classical Journal by an authorized editor of CrossWorks. Towards a ‘Political’ Tibullus: Ceres and Grain in Elegies Books 1 and 2 VICTORIA JANSSON Abstract: This article argues that unfulfilled prayers to Ceres in Tibullus’ elegies are symptomatic of Rome’s grain crises at the end of the Republic and beginning of Empire. My approach includes philological, socioeconomic, and psychoanalytic analysis of the elegies, in which the poet examines the shifting definition of a ‘Roman’ in his day. I seek to demonstrate the ways in which the poet grapples with the political and economic forces at work during the most turbulent period of Roman history: a time when income inequality was roughly equivalent to that of the U.S. and E.U. today.1 Keywords: Tibullus, elegy, literary theory, grain, Ceres, Lacan. I argue that the elegies of Tibullus constitute a bold poetic program in which the author explores widespread social change.
