200636256The University of North Carolina Press. 2006. Hardcover. Very Good- in Very Good dust jacket. Some pencilling. 1 page corner creased. A few pages have small stain to edges. Minor edgewear to DJ.; Expanding the discussion of religious participation of women in ancient Rome Celia E. Schultz demonstrates that in addition to observances of marriage fertility and childbirth there were more--and more important--religious opportunities available to Roman women than are commonly considered. Based on research in ancient literature inscriptions and archaeological remains from the fifth to the first century B. C. E. Schultz's study shows that women honored gods unaffiliated with domestic matters including Hercules and Jupiter; they took part in commercial military and political rites; they often worshipped alongside men; and they were not confined to the private sphere the traditional domain of women. The Vestal Virgins did not stand alone but were instead the most prominent members of a group of women who held high-profile religious positions: priestesses of Ceres Liber and Venus; the flaminica Dialis and the regina sacrorum; other cult officials; and aristocratic matrons who often took leading roles in religious observances even though they were not priestesses. Schultz argues that women were vital participants--both professional and nonprofessional--in the religion of the Roman Republic and that social and marital status in addition to gender were important factors in determining their opportunities for religious participation in the public sphere.; Studies in the History of Greece and Rome; 248 pages . 0807830186 .

201111011Franz Steiner Verlag. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Historia - Einzelschriften 219; 314 pages; Die beruhmten aZustande wie im alten Rom scheinen nirgendwo so deutlich hervorzutreten wie beim aristokratischen Bankett. Die antiken Quellen berichten von protzenden Gastgebern erbrechenden Gasten und gedemutigten Dienern von sexueller Zugellosigkeit exzentrischen kulinarischen Kreationen der leichtfertigen Benutzung und vorsatzlichen Zerstorung kostbarsten Hausrats. Die stadtromische Aristokratie suchte bei ihren Gastmahlern allerdings nicht nur die gesellige Entspannung. Das convivium zahlte zu den zentralen Einrichtungen aristokratischer Hauser und erfullte Funktionen die uber die hausliche Sphare weit hinausreichten: Einerseits bildete sich dort die offentliche Meinung zum anderen trug das Gastmahl durch die Manifestation und Reproduktion von Rangordnung und Prestigehierarchie durch das auf die Sitzordnung wirkende Protokoll sowie die offentliche Prasentation konkurrierender Freundeskreise zur Transparenz der romischen Gesellschaftsordnung bei. Dirk Schnurbusch legt erstmals die standestypischen Konventionen aristokratischer Geselligkeit und die Bedeutung des Gastmahls als wichtigen Interaktions- und Kommunikationsrahmen der romischen Oberschicht offen. . 3515098607 .
