Our previous logo was based on an eagle from the back of an Italian Mus- solini era coin. The new logo is based on the leaping boar image depicted on the antefix found at Chester. Two versions exist. The first is for a white back- ground and the second for black or a dark back- ground. For our logo we have framed the boar in a victory wreath with a purple ribbon. We tried various colour ribbons but purple worked out best - red made it look like a Christmas wreath! I have sent these logo’s to a garment manufacturer in the UK and should have prices back shortly for group jackets, sweat shirts and polo shirts.

  • Brogitaros and the Pessinus-Affair Some Considerations on the Galatian Background of Cicero’S Lampoon Against Clodius in 56 BC (Harusp
    GEPHYRA 15, 2018, 119-133 Brogitaros and the Pessinus-Affair Some Considerations on the Galatian Background of Cicero’s Lampoon against Clodius in 56 BC (Harusp. Resp. 27–29) Altay COŞKUN I. The Romanness of Our Perspective on Ancient Pessinus The sanctuary of Kybele Agdistis in Pessinus is considered to be one of the most famous of ancient Anatolia, if not the ancient world at large. Most recent research is, however, increasingly skeptical of its alleged Phrygian past, or at least of any renown that the cult place might have enjoyed beyond the narrow confines of the Gallos Valley so early in time. Scholars are thus ever more inclined to take seriously the lateness of the material, literary and epigraphic evidence. Some of them now believe that the foundation of the so-called temple state may well have happened as late as the 3rd century. I have suggested elsewhere that we should put more trust in Strabo’s brief account on Pessinus, because he seems to be hitting the nail when he claims: “Famous has the sanctuary been made by the Romans, when they sent for the statue of the throned goddess (aphidryma) from there, following the oracles of the Sibyl, just as in the case of the statue of Asklepios at Epidauros.”1 The reference to the aphidry- ma is certainly anachronistic, for we know that the Roman ambassadors brought home an aniconic meteorite (baitylos) in 205/4 BC.2 This concession notwithstanding, the main allegation is still con- sistent with the rest of Strabo’s report, namely that the architectural splendor of Pessinus was owed to the Attalid kings, and that the humble remains of a great Phrygian past have to be sought outside the Gallos Valley on the banks of the Sangarios River.3 Assoc.

  • F.F. Bruce, "Babylon and Rome," the Evangelical Quarterly 13
    F.F. Bruce, “Babylon and Rome,” The Evangelical Quarterly 13 (October 15th, 1941): 241-261. Babylon and Rome F.F. Bruce [p.241] I It cannot seriously be denied that most of the features of advanced Catholic1 ritual have little or no direct warrant in the New Testament. It is frequently urged in support of such ritual that it can be traced in unbroken sequence back to the fourth century. “No sooner did the primitive Church emerge from the centuries of persecution, and acquire freedom from external repression, than it gave full and wonderful expression to its devotional spirit in elaborate and beautiful Symbolic ways.”2 Antiquity, however, is no guarantee of apostolic authority, especially as there is a gap of nearly three centuries between apostolic days and the introduction of the greater part of these ritual practices into the Church. Indeed, far from our being able to find Scriptural authority for these practices, all the available evidence on their provenance goes to show that they were taken over into the Church from the various Mystery cults which were so popular throughout the Roman Empire in the early centuries o£ our era. The appeal to the Fathers cannot take the place of an appeal to the Apostles. “The most honoured of the Fathers were men whose minds were impregnated by the superstitions of Pagan religion, or the subtleties of Pagan philosophy.... They were ‘near the fountain’ of Christianity, forsooth; yes, but they were nearer still to the cesspool of Paganism. And inquiry will show that it is to the cesspool that we should attribute every perversion of the truth which to-day defaces what is called the Christian religion.”3 The proof of the descent of Catholic ritual from the Mysteries is not the object of this paper; for such proof, the reader may consult such works as R.

  • Mothers' Day 2013 UU Talk
    Mother’s Day Initially, I would like to acknowledge a sermon, which I have drawn on in part, by Steve Edington of UU Church of Nashua, US. He maintains that in his experience ‘the sermon topic most avoided’ is the one about mothers on Mothers’ Day! Why? Praise mothers too much and too uncritically and you invite criticism from anyone who has some unpleasant issues they do not want to be reminded of; if you refer to any of these types of issues you then have criticism from those who do not have any of these issues and don’t need to hear of them. Then you may have women who aren’t mothers, by choice or circumstance and are not needing to hear about the virtues of motherhood or even those who aren’t greatly thrilled about motherhood – then there is the traditional family structure mothers, the single mothers, the same sex mothers etc etc who need to be acknowledged. He feels that the topic becomes a minefield and has decided the way to go is to talk about the history of Mothers’ Day. This is the path I had decided to follow when preparing for this talk on Mothers’ Day and before reading this particular sermon. Spiritual Origins of Mothers Day The traditional practice of honouring motherhood is rooted in antiquity when societies tended to celebrate Goddesses and symbols of motherhood rather than actual mothers. The personal family orientation of Mothers Day is a relatively new phenomenon; only in the past few centuries did these celebrations develop a human focus and only in the last century did it take on commercial overtones.

  • Gender Fluidity in Republican Rome. by Elizabeth Violet Jessica Cytko a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfi
    Of Androgynes and Men: Gender Fluidity in Republican Rome. By Elizabeth Violet Jessica Cytko A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Ancient Societies and Cultures Department of History of Classics University of Alberta © Elizabeth Violet Jessica Cytko, 2017 ii Abstract Examining texts from the end of the Republic, an in-depth Roman perspective may be gained from the different writers preserved during this well-documented period. I intend to not only set up a working basis of masculinity but to argue that the Romans understood gender as a spectrum rather than a binary. Removing gender from a binary opens up new ways to critically examine Roman society in the Late Republic. Understanding Roman gender as a spectrum allows a broader and more nuanced understanding of how precarious status was politically and socially. Gender, however, in many ways is an inadequate term to use as a descriptor to comprehend the various segregations within society that often are entwined together. Sex within this paper can be understood as regulatory norms which demarcate and differentiate the bodies it controls. Gender is how the person performs the regulatory norms and how they are perceived within society. In effect the concept of gender does not simply indicate whether someone is a man or a woman, but is tied up with other important aspects such as the ability to participate in politics, how much authority one has, and expectations of performance according to the set norms. Opening up the conversation as to how gender acts as a policing force within society, allows more scrutiny to be applied to how it affected one’s position amongst one’s peers.

  • 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.

Appert: The Great Mother and the Great Race: The Importance of Troy in R 28 COMPARATIVE CIVILIZATIONS REVIEW The Great Mother and the Great Race: The Importance of Troy in Roman Imperialism LUCILE G. APPERT In 204 BC, the Roman Senate invited the goddess Cybele, the Magna Mater (Great Mother), to leave her native Asia Minor and to join the Roman state cult of deities. In a polytheistic state that sanctioned the worship of hundreds of deities in addition to the classical pantheon, such a gesture was routine. The political and social ramifications of importing this goddess from Asia Minor continued to be felt for centuries, however, and after the induction of Cybele, no other foreign deities were ever added to the Roman state cult.
