Book SynopsisAs a political issue, the divinity of the Roman emperor has been mostly studied in terms of its constructive (i. e. rule-stabilising) effects. In contrast, this study offers different perspectives bringing its inner conflicts and contradictions to light. Aiming for deification, the ruler remained bound to the senate, which officially had to decide in this matter. The negotiations that come into focus in this context can contribute to a better understanding of power and domination in the Roman principate of the first two centuries AD.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Rezeption der Antike: Bà cher - Köpfe - Themen
Book SynopsisDie in diesem Band versammelten Texte laden dazu ein, die antike Welt neu kennenzulernen - pointiert, durchaus anspruchsvoll und mit überraschenden Durchblicken in die Moderne und die Gegenwart. Themen, Traditionen und Tendenzen altertumswissenschaftlicher Forschung werden in ihren Büchern, ihren Vertretern und ihren Gegenständen transparent gemacht. Die zwischen 1998 und 2017 zunächst in der „Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung“ publizierten Stücke erscheinen hier in überarbeiteter und neu arrangierter Form, um ihren gedanklichen Zusammenhang sowie die disziplinären Entwicklungslinien möglichst klar herauszustellen. Den Schluß des Lesebuches bildet ein bisher nicht gedruckter Rückblick und Ausblick auf antike Gegenstände in Qualitätszeitungen, die trotz veränderter Rezeptionsgewohnheiten noch immer einen Eckstein kultureller Verständigung darstellen weit über die alten Griechen und Römer hinaus.

Book SynopsisText in German. Trust and the loss of trust are not only omnipresent in modern discourse, but also represent phenomena of timeless significance that are particularly important for the understanding of ancient societies. For the first time, the contributions to the conference volume deal with this complex topic systematically from an interdisciplinary perspective. Based on fundamental concepts of trust in the Greek and Roman world, questions about the circumstances and conditions of the erosion of trust are considered as well as the dimensions and effects of lost trust.

Trivent Publishing Nemo Non Metuit: Magic in the Roman World
Book SynopsisNemo Non Metuit has the ambitious goal of discussing some of the fundamental themes in the development of the idea of magic, in all its facets, in the long chronological span of the Roman world, between the 8th century BCE and the 5th century CE. At the same time, this volume is the result of a team effort that has brought together both accomplished scholars and young researchers at the beginning of their scholarly careers. Altogether, this ample work is the result of a synergy that brought together different approaches to the study of Roman magic. The broad content of this volume includes studies on magical gems of Etruscan, Greek and Phoenician background; curse tablets; amulets targeting malaria; erotic spells; the use of veneficia or poisons for magical purposes; judicial prayers in Roman Britain; witches in the literary tradition; the role of women in the matter of magic and divination; the figure of the "Orphic witch" in the age of Augustus; sorcerers and rivals of Jesus Christ; early-Christian sermons against magic and superstition; the fight of late-antique Church against magical powers. By addressing such a diverse spectrum of topics, this volume aims to challenge traditional views and open new paths of interpretation in the reconstruction of a long-term cultural-historical object such as magic in connection to the Roman civilization.Trade ReviewMagic in Western antiquity existed within a social and cultural context quite different from the subsequent Christian-dominated cultures of medieval and early modern Europe. Yet ancient ideas of magic and stereotypes about various kinds of magical practitioners profoundly influenced later conceptions. The essays collected in this volume all properly set Roman magical beliefs and practices in their own specific contexts. The volume as a whole, however, also looks forward, positioning Roman magic as an essential basis from which later beliefs and practices either developed or in many cases were consciously reshaped in light of the received authority of Roman models.These essays span the full range of magic's history in the Roman world, from real practices performed via physical objects that we can in some cases still hold in our hands today (gems, curse tablets) to literary constructions that exerted tremendous force on both contemporary and subsequent imaginings about how magic operated and who magicians were supposed to be. Focus falls on the imperial center and on the provinces, and extends chronologically from Rome's own appropriation of the magical practices of earlier cultures to the critical metamorphosis that ideas about magic underwent in late antiquity, as Christian beliefs became dominant across the classical world. With this breadth, the volume provides an excellent introduction to Roman magic and an essential basis for those interested in magic in later periods as well." —Michael D.
