Antyllus and His Friends
The number of children who appear in the sources for the triumviral period is striking. Antyllus, the elder son of Antonius and Fulvia, is the most visible of a cohort of young people who took part in the politics of the day, mostly as targets of, or instruments for, the strategies of the adults on whom they depended. This paper argues that the unusual, or even experimental, use of children in this brief period was a departure in several importan…

As a critical journal for all classical studies, the GNOMON fosters the links between the distinct classical disciplines. It has thus an exceptional position among the classical review journals and allows familiarization with research and publications in neighbouring disciplines. The reviews address an international readership from all fields in classical studies. The GNOMON publishes reviews in German, English, French, Italian and Latin
Fulvia
Fulvia' is the first full-length biography focused solely on Fulvia, daughter of Sempronia and Bambalio, who is best known as the wife of Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony). It peels away the heavily biased accounts of her to reveal a strong-willed, independent woman who was, by many traditional measures, a successful Roman matron
Sacrum Reddere
This paper argues that the close connections among sacrifice, consecration, and dedication in modern thought are not matched by similar connections among Roman sacrificium, consecratio, and dedicatio. Although these three Roman rituals have sometimes been grouped together in recent scholarship on the basis that they all appear to do the same work – namely, they endow an everyday object with a sacred status – the Romans do not seem to have connect…

Roman Sacrifice, Inside and Out
The ‘insider-outsider problem’ has had little impact on the study of religion in pre-Christian Rome. Classicists generally assume that the modern idea of sacrifice as the ritual killing of an animal applies to the Roman context. This study argues, however, that the apparent continuity is illusory in some important ways and that we have lost sight of some fine distinctions that the Romans made among the rituals they performed. Sacrificium included…

A Commentary on Cicero, De Divinatione I
A Commentary on Cicero, De Divinatione I , is the first English-language commentary on the Latin text of Marcus Tullius Cicero's dialogue in almost one hundred years. The defense of divination (the science of predicting the future) offered in Book 1 is illustrated with many entertaining anecdotes that make the argument more accessible to a wider range of readers than many of Cicero's other philosophical works. De Divinatione also preserves many f…
Religion in Republican Italy
The Romans and Ritual Murder
The Roman abhorrence of human sacrifice presented by ancient literary sources stands in contrast to the frequency of rites requiring the death of a human being performed by the Romans during the Republic (509-44 BCE). After examining the ways our sources talk about ritual murder, especially as it was practiced by foreign peoples and subversive or tyrannical elements within Roman society, this discussion turns to the issue of the forms of ritual m…
The Matter of the Gods
BOOK REV1EWS/COMPTES RENDUS 457 Bablitz's third chapter attempts to explore the gender balance of recorded litigants, their geographical provenance, and various kinds of "typical litigants," before moving on to a more general consideration of the socio-economic and socio-political factors that influenced their behaviour and "emotional states." The brief sections on litigants' stressed-out emotions, the symbolism of their "dark and dirty" clothing…
Fasti Sacerdotum
Juno Sospita and Roman insecurity in the Social War
In 90 bce , the Senate of Rome, stirred to action by a report of a vision seen by Caecilia Metella, a member of one of the most prominent families in Rome, ordered one of that year's consuls to oversee the refurbishment of the Temple of Juno Sospita. Although this incident occurred against the backdrop of the Social War, it is rarely treated in discussions of that conflict. This is no great surprise since, unlike the prominence accorded religious…
