  • 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.

  • A Roman Cult in the Italian Countryside? the Compitalia and the Shrines of the Lares Compitales
    0821-07_Babesch_83_08 23-09-2008 16:06 Pagina 111 BABESCH 83 (2008), 111-132. doi: 10.2143/BAB.83.0.2033102. A Roman cult in the Italian countryside? The Compitalia and the shrines of the Lares Compitales T.D. Stek Abstract The Roman religious festival of the Compitalia (‘cross-roads festival’) was celebrated in both city and coun- tryside. It is generally assumed that it originated as a rural cult which was later incorporated in the city, where it became the principal festival of the vici or urban quarters. In this paper it will be argued that the spread of the Compitalia might have been in the opposite direction; in this view the Compitalia, a Roman urban festi- val with administrative aspects, was spread outside Rome alongside Roman influence. It is not known where the Compitalia were celebrated in the countryside. It will be suggested that ancient ‘Italic’ sanctuaries have been re-used for celebrating the Roman rite of the Compitalia, apparently by now functioning within a Roman administrative and religious system.* the separation between city cult and family or farm cult should not be exaggerated (Beard/North/Price 1998, 50) INTRODUCTION. THE COMPITALIA: A PARADOXICAL both to what we would define the ‘private’ and PICTURE to the ‘public’ domain. Another paradoxical aspect regards the location At the end of a letter to Atticus (2.3), Cicero of the Compitalia. The festival is often associated writes, probably from his country house, after with the urban plebs, and therefore placed in an having referred to the political situation in Rome urban setting.

  • 6 the God Liber and the Republican Notions of Libertas in the Late Roman Republic
    6 The god Liber and the Republican Notions of Libertas in the late Roman Republic I This essay focuses on the Roman god Liber and its relation with the notion of libertas in the first century BC. A very powerful, and prima facie convincing, explanation of this relation is, in the words of one of the most authoritative scholars in the field, that ‘by name and by nature, Liber is the god of freedom … Though many explanations were offered by ancient sources to account for his name, the simplest and most obvious was an ideological one: Liber a libertate. Political freedom, libertas, was the defining quality of the Roman Republic, achieved by the expulsion of Tarquin and under threat ever after,’ and which found its divinisation in Liber.1 a notable exception Raaflaub 2000 in Hansen birthday, 257. Il punto non e’ sbagliato, ma richiede revision. Non si tratat della political liberty di provocatio. However, when analysing the evidence at our disposal, it is possible to observe that Liber is conceived as enacting different forms of liberation: Liber frees the individual from worries and fears, frees the soul from the constraints of a mortal body, and frees the semen, both male and female, in sexual union.2 As Anthony Corbeill brilliantly put it, Liber was conceived as fulfilling the role of both the Realiser and the Liberator.3 Building on recent works that move away from a linear development of Liber in Rome as an Italic deity of subversive traits, gradually tamed in the third and second century BC through a process of Hellenisation, and considering

    ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF DEATH VIOLENCE, DEATH, AND SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION IN OVID’S FASTI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY ANNA EVERETT BEEK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CHRISTOPHER NAPPA, ADVISER FEBRUARY, 2015 copyright 2015 Anna Everett Beek ABSTRACT Ovid’s Fasti, in its elaboration of mythic stories and the aetia of Roman religious practices, exhibits a marked correlation between violence and supernatural transformation: people who experience acts of intense violence such as rape, assault, and bodily mutilation are transformed by the experience into gods or other supernatural beings. In fact, within the Fasti, nearly all apotheoses have an episode of violence as a catalyst, and moreover nearly all violence results in transformation. Although rape (and some other forms of violence) in the Fasti has been examined extensively by other scholars, previous studies have focused on the perpetration of violence, while this dissertation examines the consequences of the event, how the victims fail to re-integrate to society and are removed by being ostracized, exiled, killed, transformed, or even apotheosed because a return to their former lives is impossible. Some of the prominent examples treated are Romulus, Anna Perenna, Ino, Callisto, and Lara. Special attention is paid to how this overarching pattern differentiates the Fasti from Ovid’s best known collection of mythic transformation stories, the Metamorphoses. The Metamorphoses does provide several episodes of apotheosis (such as those of Hercules, Aeneas, Romulus, and Julius Caesar), and those episodes share certain structural elements that recur in similar episodes in the Fasti: in many cases, the character in question is put in life-threatening danger, which is averted at the last minute by divine intervention and transformation into divinity.

  • Polybius & Livy
    CC200: Roman Republic: Polybius and Livy, Republican history and values The enclosed passages reveal some essential values of importance to the Romans during the Republic and how historians presented those values. The passages are excerpted from the works of two historians, the Greek Polybius and the Roman Livy (Titus Livius). Polybius ἱστορίαι (historiai, or “Histories”) For I maintain that by far the most essential part of history is the consideration of the remote or immediate consequences of events and especially that of causes (3.32). [T]hose who study history are, we may almost say, provided with a method for dealing with any contingency that may arise (9.2). Polybius, a Greek general and statesman, was taken to Rome as a hostage in 167 BCE when Rome was conquering Greece. He then became a tutor (and later companion) to the future conqueror of Carthage and Spain, Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Numantinus, and part of Scipio’s literary circle. Polybius’ Histories, written in Greek, was a pragmatikê historiê or “pragmatic history” of Rome’s conquest of the Mediterranean. The following excerpts come from books 1, 3, and 6. Readings #1: Polybius, history and methodology 1.1 Had previous chroniclers neglected to speak in praise of History (historia) in general, it might perhaps have been necessary for me to recommend everyone to choose for study and welcome such treatises as the present, since men have no more ready corrective of conduct than knowledge of the past. But all historians, one may say without exception, and in no half-hearted manner, but making this the beginning and end of their labor, have impressed on us that the soundest education and training for a life of active politics is the study of History, and that surest and indeed the only method of learning how to bear bravely the vicissitudes of fortune, is to recall the calamities of others.

  • The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome by Amy Russell
    The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome By Amy Russell A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and the Designated Emphasis in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Erich S. Gruen, Chair Professor Carlos F. Noreña Professor Mark Griffith Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill Spring 2011 © Copyright by Amy Russell 2011 All Rights Reserved Abstract The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome by Amy Russell Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and the Designated Emphasis in Gender and Women’s Studies Professor Erich S. Gruen, Chair This dissertation uses a combination of literary and archeological evidence to ask how Romans understood and defined public space in Rome during the Republic. The definition of concepts of ‘public’ and ‘private’ in Roman culture differed from that current in modern Western discourse, but just like modern definitions, it was ambiguous and manipulable. Taking public space as a starting-point offers new insights into the Roman concepts, and a behavioural approach, aided by insights from space syntax theory, allows for a partial reconstruction of the diversity of spatial experience in the city. Traditionally, lack of behavioural control has been associated with private space, but for the majority of the population, who were not householders, it was public spaces which were characterised by greater freedom of access and behaviour. Public space was not a monolith, but offered a variety of spatial experiences and was experienced differently by different groups.

  • Authority, Originality and Competence in the Roman Archaeology of Dionysius of Halicarnassus 
    Histos () – AUTHORITY, ORIGINALITY AND COMPETENCE IN THE ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY OF DIONYSIUS OF HALICARNASSUS This is the first of two papers on Dionysius to be published in Histos . The papers are free-standing but complementary: the second, entitled ‘From µῦθος to ἱστορία in Dionysius of Halicarnassus’, presupposes the conclusions of the first and may be regarded as a sustained practical demonstra- tion of some of those conclusions. The present paper is divided into the following sections: Dionysius’ programme The questions of scope and periodisation raised in .. Larger perspectives: periodisation problematised The feasibility of a ‘Roman Archaeology’ and Dionysius’ qualifications for writing it . Dionysius’ claim to exhaustive and meticulous reading . Sources cited by Dionysius Dionysius’ citation procedure: an overview The trustworthiness of the claim to exhaustive and meticulous reading . Arguments against Dionysius’ good faith and reliability . Arguments in favour of Dionysius’ good faith and reliability . Dionysius’ good faith vindicated The difference of practice between Books - (especially Book ) and the rest of the work Dionysius’ creative engagement with his sources . Dionysius’ assessment of earlier authorities . Dionysius’ distinctions between µυθικόν and ἱστορικόν . Dionysius’ criteria for the evaluation of evidence Conclusions (this section also functions as an abstract). Dionysius’ Programme Any attempt to understand an ancient historian’s programme, claim to au- thority, self-definition, originality and ideas about history and historiogra- Thanks are due to those who read and commented on earlier versions of this paper: Dr C. S. Kraus, Prof. J. Marincola, Prof. J. L. Moles, Prof. T. P. Wiseman and Prof. A. J. Woodman. I owe special thanks to Tony Woodman for much help with the translations, which aim as far as possible to reproduce significant verbal relationships in the Greek, although, as usual, Histos readers with Greek will find it useful to have the Greek text be- fore them.
