Titelseiten
Septemviri epulones
This priestly college, literally, “seven men for sacrificial banquets,” was established by plebiscite ( see Plebiscitum) at the instigation of the tribune C. Licinius Lucullus in Rome in 196 BCE (Livy 33.42.1), and one ofits first three members was Licinius himself.
Priests and priestesses, Roman
There is no single term in Latin to designate priests, suggesting the varied origins of Roman priesthoods. In some instances we can trace Indo‐European origins behind individual words; for example, the * dhe‐ stem in sacerdos , the generic Latin term for “priest,” also shows up in different form in the Latin verb facere , “to do,” and thus implies the “doing” of sacred actions.
Flamines
Roman priests associated with the worship of individual deities — unlike other Roman priesthoods.
Sodales
Literally “companions,” fellow members of a fraternity, as in the earliest use of the word in an early inscription ( CIL I 2 2832a, ca. 500 BCE ), where the suodales of Poplios Valesios make an offering to Mars.
Quindecimviri sacris faciundis
Literally, “a college of fifteen men to perform sacred actions.”

Ancient Mediterranean sacrifice
The Religion of Senators in the Roman Empire
This book examines the connection between political and religious power in the pagan Roman Empire through a study of senatorial religion. Presenting a new collection of historical, epigraphic, prosopographic and material evidence, it argues that as Augustus turned to religion to legitimize his powers, senators in turn also came to negotiate their own power, as well as that of the emperor, partly in religious terms. In Rome, the body of the senate…
Religion in the Roman Empire by James B. Rives
PHOENIX Religion in the Roman Empire. By James B. Rives. Maiden, MA: Blackwell. 2007. Pp. x, 237, 11 illustrations, 4 maps. Merely conceptualizing a scholarly introduction to "religion" in the Roman empire poses quite a challenge to anyone familiar with recent work on the complexity of the subject. Wisely, this new introduction by James Rives, part of Blackwell's new series on ancient religions, undertakes this task as an experiment, less a "defi…
A Tall Order. Writing the Social History of the Ancient World
This volume commemorates the 65th birthday of William Vernon Harris (on September 13, 2003), when a group of his former students agreed to honor him with a collection of essays that would represent the wide variety of interests and influences of our advisor and friend. The fifteen papers in fact range chronologically from the first Olympics to late antiquity and discuss various questions of imperialism, law, economy, and religion in the ancient M…
