The October Horse - Colleen McCullough - Google книги In ancient Roman religionthe October Horse Latin Equus October was an animal sacrifice to Mars carried out on October 15, coinciding with the end of the agricultural and military campaigning season. Two-horse chariot races bigae were held in the Campus Martiusthe area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spearthen sacrificed. The horse's head caput and tail cauda were cut off and The October Horse separately in the The October Horse subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to The October Horse Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome. Ancient references to the Equus October are scattered over more than six centuries: the earliest is that of Timaeus 3rd century BCwho linked the sacrifice to the Trojan Horse and the Romans' claim to The October Horse descent, with the latest in the Calendar of Philocalus ADwhere it is noted as still occurring, even as Christianity was becoming the dominant religion of the Empire. Most scholars see an Etruscan influence on the early formation of the ceremonies. The October Horse is the only instance of horse sacrifice in Roman religion; [4] the Romans typically sacrificed animals that were a normal part of their diet. The unusual ritual of the October Horse has thus been analyzed at times in light of other Indo-European forms of horse sacrificesuch as the Vedic ashvamedha and the Irish ritual described by Giraldus Cambrensisboth of which have to do with kingship. Although the ritual battle for possession of the head may preserve an element from the early period when Rome was ruled by kingsThe October Horse the October Horse's collocation of agriculture and war is characteristic of the Republic. The sacred topography of the rite and the role of Mars in other equestrian festivals also suggest aspects of initiation and rebirth ritual. The complex or even contradictory aspects of the October Horse probably result from overlays of traditions accumulated over time. The rite of the October Horse took place on the Ides of October, but no name is recorded for a festival on that date. It is the right-hand horse The October Horse the winning team in the two-horse chariot races. The customary competition for its head The October Horse the residents of the Suburra and those of the Sacra Via was no trivial affair; the latter would get to attach it to the wall of the Regia, or the former to the Mamilian Tower. Its tail was transported to the Regia with sufficient speed that the blood from it could be dripped onto the hearth for the sake of becoming part of the sacred rite res divina. In a separate passage, [9] The October Horse Augustan antiquarian Verrius Flaccus adds the detail that the horse's head is adorned with bread. The Calendar of Philocalus [10] notes that on October 15 "the Horse takes place at the Nixae," either an altar to birth deities di nixi or less likely an obscure landmark called the Ciconiae Nixae. The "sacred rite" that the horse's blood became part of is usually taken The October Horse be the Pariliaa festival of rural character on April 21, which became the date on The October Horse the founding of Rome was celebrated. Verrius Flaccus notes [12] that the horse ritual was carried out ob frugum eventumusually taken to mean "in thanks for the completed harvest" or "for the sake of the next harvest", [13] since winter wheat was sown in The October Horse fall. The ritual was held outside the pomeriumRome's sacred boundary, presumably because of its martial character, [21] but The October Horse was also an extra-urban activity, as Vitruvius indicates when he notes that The October Horse correct sacred place for Ceres was outside the city extra urbem loco. In early Rome agriculture and military activity were closely bound up, in the sense that the Roman farmer was also a soldier. This polyvalence was characteristic of the god for whom the sacrifice was conducted, since among the Romans Mars brought war and bloodshed, agriculture and virility, and thus both death and fertility within his sphere of influence. The Augustan poets Propertius [25] and Ovid both mention horse as an ingredient in the ritual preparation suffimen or suffimentumwhich the Vestals compounded for use in the lustration of shepherds and their sheep at the Parilia. Propertius may imply that this horse was not an original part of the preparation: "the purification rites lustra are now renewed by means of the dismembered horse". Another important ingredient for the suffimen was the ash produced from the holocaust of an unborn calf at the Fordicidia on April 15, along with the stalks from which beans had been harvested. Suffimentum is a general word for a preparation used for healing, purification, or warding off ill influence. In his treatise on veterinary medicine, Vegetius recommends a suffimentum as an effective cure for draft animals and for humans prone to emotional outbursts, as well as for driving off hailstorms, demons and ghosts daemones and umbras. Sacrificial victims were most often domestic animals normally part of the Roman diet, and the meat was eaten at a banquet shared by those celebrating the rite. At Rome, dogs were sacrificed at the Robigaliaa festival for protecting the crops at which chariot races were held for Mars along with the namesake deity, [36] and at a very few other public rites. The importance of the horse to the war god is likewise not self-evident, since the Roman military was based on infantry. Mars' youthful armed priests the Saliiattired as "typical representatives of the archaic infantry," performed their rituals emphatically on foot, with dance steps. Roman technical terms pertaining to horsemanship and horse-drawn vehicles are mostly not Latin in origin, and often from Gaulish. Under some circumstances, Roman religion placed the horse under an explicit ban. Horses were forbidden in the grove of Diana Nemorensisand the patrician Flamen Dialis was religiously prohibited from riding a horse. Horse sacrifice was regularly offered by peoples the Romans classified as " barbarians ," such as Scythians[46] but also at times by Greeks. In Macedonia"horses in armor" were sacrificed as a lustration for the army. In contrast to cultures that offered a horse to the war god in advance to ask for success, the Roman The October Horse sacrifice marked the close of the military campaigning season.

  • The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina

    The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina

    The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina Abstract The Roman calendar was first developed as a lunar | 290 calendar, so it was difficult for the Romans to reconcile this with the natural solar year. In 45 BC, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, creating a solar year of 365 days with leap years every four years. This article explains the process by which the Roman calendar evolved and argues that the reason February has 28 days is that Caesar did not want to interfere with religious festivals that occurred in February. Beginning as a lunar calendar, the Romans developed a lunisolar system that tried to reconcile lunar months with the solar year, with the unfortunate result that the calendar was often inaccurate by up to four months. Caesar fixed this by changing the lengths of most months, but made no change to February because of the tradition of intercalation, which the article explains, and because of festivals that were celebrated in February that were connected to the Roman New Year, which had originally been on March 1. Introduction The reason why February has 28 days in the modern calendar is that Caesar did not want to interfere with festivals that honored the dead, some of which were Past Imperfect 15 (2009) | © | ISSN 1711-053X | eISSN 1718-4487 connected to the position of the Roman New Year.

  • Roman Southwark's Ritual Landscape

    Roman Southwark's Ritual Landscape

    Roman Southwark’s Ritual Landscape; a study of sacred places in a Roman urban environment Victoria Ridgeway (Pre-Construct Archaeology; Newcastle University) This paper presents a brief introduction to the long history of religious practices and sacred places across Southwark in the first four centuries AD. It is based on data from various published by Pre- Construct Archaeology and research for an MLitt dissertation on the subject at Newcastle University, which involved an examination of published and archive material from across the borough. As this represents almost four centuries of activity across a broad area, this short paper is limited to consideration of some highlights and of the relationship between Southwark and the landscape. Geographically, this study is limited to the northern part of the modern borough, from about Harper Road northwards. Buried deep beneath alluvial clays, the shape of Roman Southwark was very different from what we see today. Around AD50, Southwark was a low-lying expanse of sandy riverine islands, or eyots, interspersed with braided channels; a shifting landscape with extensive mudflats inundated at high tide (Figure 1). Here two eyots, (most commonly termed the north and south islands) form elements of a landbridge over the Thames, heading towards the main settlement of Londinium on the north bank. Figure 1 Southwark’s island topography c.AD50, showing key sites mentioned in the text The role of water is crucial to an understanding of ancient Southwark; its peculiar situation, indeed its very existence, was defined by and arguably dependent on water. The city was situated not only at a convenient crossing point of the Thames (Watson et al.

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.

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.

    Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse

    Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse David Fickett-Wilbar Durham, New Hampshire [email protected] The kingly inauguration ritual described by Gerald of Wales has often been compared with horse sacrifice rituals in other Indo-European traditions, in particular the Roman October Equus and the Vedic aßvamedha. Among the doubts expressed about the Irish account is that it is the only text that describes the ritual. I will argue, however, that a similar ritual is found in another text, the Irish Life of St. Molaise of Devenish (Betha Mholaise Daiminise), not only confirming the accuracy of much of Gerald’s account, but providing additional details. Gerald of Wales’ (Gerald Cambrensis’) description of “a new and outlandish way of confirming kingship and dominion” in Ireland is justly famous among Celticists and Indo-European comparativists. It purports to give us a description of what can only be a pagan ritual, accounts of which from Ireland are in short supply, surviving into 12th century Ireland. He writes: Est igitur in boreali et ulteriori Uitoniae parte, scilicet apud Kenelcunnil, gens quaedam, quae barbaro nimis et abominabili ritu sic sibi regem creare solet. Collecto in unum universo terrae illius populo, in medium producitur jumentum candidum. Ad quod sublimandus ille non in principem sed in beluam, non in regem sed exlegem, coram omnibus bestialiter accedens, non minus impudenter quam imprudenter se quoque bestiam profitetur. Et statim jumento interfecto, et frustatim in aqua decocto, in eadam aqua balneum ei paratur. Cui insidens, de carnibus illis sibi allatis, circumstante populo suo et convescente, comedit ipse.

    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.

Vestals identified with the eternity of Rome, the priestesses having a specific, unavailable to other women power. That power gained at the moment of a ritual capture (captio) and responsibilities and privileges resulted from it are the subject matter of this paper. The special attention is paid to the importance of Vestals for Rome and Romans in various historic moments, and to the purifying rituals performed by Vestals on behalf of the Roman state’s fortune. The study presents probable dating and possible causes of the end of the College of the Vestals in Rome. Keywords: Vesta, vestals, priesthood, priestesses, rituals Słowa kluczowe: Westa, westalki, kapłaństwo, kapłanki, rytuały Vesta and her priestesses Plutarch was not certain to which of the Roman kings attribute the implementation of the cult of Vesta in Rome, for he indicated that it had been done either by the legendary king- priest Numa Pompilius or even Romulus, who himself being a son of a Vestal Virgin, according to the legend, transferred the cult of the goddess from Alba Longa,1 which was contradicted by Livy’s work that categorically attributes the establishment of the Vestal Virgins to Numa by removing the priesthood structure from Alba Longa and providing it with support from the state treasury as well as by granting the priestesses numerous privileges”.2 Vesta, the daughter of Saturn and Ops became one of the most important 1 Plut.

  • Calendar of Roman Events

    Calendar of Roman Events

    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.
