The Hunnic attack on Persia
The Ancient Roman Afterlife
In ancient Rome, it was believed some humans were transformed into special, empowered beings after death. These deified dead, known as the manes, watched over and protected their surviving family members, possibly even extending those relatives' lives. But unlike the Greek hero-cult, the worship of dead emperors, or the Christian saints, the manes were incredibly inclusive-enrolling even those without social clout, such as women and the poor, amo…
Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a spice that eventually passed from Indonesia to world‐wide usage and popularity. Its history and distribution prior to the early Middle Ages remain, however, very uncertain.
Deer
Deer is the collective name of a group of quadruped and (usually) horned animal species that range widely throughout Eurasia. They appear frequently in ancient art and mythology.
Fireplace
As the name implies, a fireplace is a place for a controlled fire, normally associated with domestic heating, cooking, and certain types of ritual activity, though, in practice, some flexibility in definition is necessary to accommodate the range of variation found in domestic fires in antiquity.
Proserpina
Often closely identified with the Greek goddess Persephone and her mythology, Proserpina was the Roman goddess married to the ruler of the underworld (Dis) and the daughter of a fertility goddess (Ceres).
Lemuria
On May 9, 11, and 13 Roman worshippers made an offering of beans to placate dead spirits (lemures) who visited their homes at night.
Afterlife, Greece and Rome
Greek and Roman religion presented numerous afterlife scenarios. Some focused on models of where the dead dwelled and on the processes (like posthumous judgment) that could affect them.
Feralia
Feralia is another name for the nine‐day Roman Parentalia festival in honor of the manes (deified dead).
Manes, di manes
The manes or di manes were the deified dead, whom Romans worshipped at festivals like the Parentalia , at shrines within their own homes, and in other contexts (King 1998; 2009). The word manes lacks singular forms, but it would be misleading to conclude from the plural form that the Romans did not worship (or could not conceive of) individual dead. When it was required, Romans could shift to any of several other terms with singular forms in orde…
Funerary cult, Roman
As expressed through a variety of rituals, Roman funerary cult was the active worship of the manes (or di manes ), Rome's deified dead.
Dis Pater
Although modern mythological handbooks in the popular press show an odd preference for the alternate name “Pluto,” Dis (or more formally Dis Pater, “Father Dis”) is the most common Latin name for the God who presides over the underworld land of the dead. He is also sometimes known as Orcus.
Mundus
A Mundus was an underground Roman cultic site.
Energy intensity ratios as net energy measures of United States energy production and expenditures
In this letter I compare two measures of energy quality, energy return on energy invested (EROI) and energy intensity ratio (EIR) for the fossil fuel consumption and production of the United States. All other characteristics being equal, a fuel or energy system with a higher EROI or EIR is of better quality because more energy is provided to society. I define and calculate the EIR for oil, natural gas, coal, and electricity as measures of the ene…
