Material and Experiential Religion
In the last twenty-five years there have been so many ‘turns’ in how the ancient world is approached that you could be forgiven for wondering whether research has tended to simply spin on the spot rather than move forwards in any decisive or meaningful direction. Amongst other things, and in no particular order, the discipline of archaeology, for instance, has undergone spatial, embodied, digital, mobility, ecological, material, symmetrical, rela…
Senses, Cognition, and Ritual Experience in the Roman World
How do the senses shape the way we perceive, understand, and remember ritual experiences? This book applies cognitive and sensory approaches to Roman rituals, reconnecting readers with religious experiences as members of an embodied audience. These approaches allow us to move beyond the literate elites to examine broader audiences of diverse individuals, who experienced rituals as participants and/or performers. Case studies of ritual experiences…
Interactional sensibilities
This chapter presents an argument for the closer integration of ancient disability studies with sensory archaeologies, proposing that, in order to understand the lived complexities of being an embodied human in the ancient world, it is crucial to combine the perspectives offered by both areas of research. More specifically, it spotlights how these approaches might be used in the context of interactional theory to characterise the ancient experien…
Hand in hand
Religious experience in ancient Italy was intimately connected with the production, manipulation, veneration, and discarding of material objects. This chapter argues that for a fuller understanding of lived religion it is necessary to approach these objects as more than the mere material or visual expression of otherwise intangible concepts. It consequently explores the affective relations between things, particularly how objects and human bodies…
"Pars Pro Toto" and Personhood in Roman Cremation Ritual
Os resectum, or “cut bone,” is an obscure Roman funerary rite known primarily from literary sources. To date, archaeological examples have been recovered from Rome, Ostia, Herculaneum, and Pithekoussai, but no cases have been positively identified in the western provinces of the Roman Empire. This article presents bioarchaeological evidence concerning an unusual pattern of preservation for the bones of a single finger in a burial from a cemetery …
Bodies of Evidence. Ancient Anatomical Votives Past, Present and Future
The papers presented in this volume are the result of the conference Bodies of Evidence: Re-defining Approaches to the Anatomical Votives that was held at the British School in Rome in 2012. Additional papers area also included
There Buds the Laurel
Using the necropolis environments of the Vesuvian region of Imperial period Italy as a case study, this paper examines the ways in which multiple, overlapping, and temporally specific senses of place were associated with Roman funerary landscapes. In particular, it explores the role of the agency of the natural environment-e.g. the more-than-human or 'planty' agency of trees, plants, flowers, and fruits-in the creation of these places, arguing th…
Bodies of Evidence
Reviving Roman Religion
For a book ostensibly about sacred trees, the reader of this monograph may find themselves surprised by how few actual trees are encountered over the course of its pages. In many ways, however, thi
Wombs and Tombs in the Roman World
In 1988 Mark Golden set out to find what he considered the “correct answer” to a direct question: “Did the ancients care when their children died?” Drawing on cross-cultural parallels his conclusio
The votives project
The making of infants in Hellenistic and early Roman Italy
Votive deposits from Hellenistic and early Roman central Italy provide valuable evidence for the genuine concerns, fears and hopes of contemporary communities, including experiences and understandings of pregnancy, childbirth and infancy. This paper examines two types of terracotta votive – models of human uteri and swaddled infants – in order to elucidate the significance of the social and religious beginnings of life in ancient Italy. In partic…
Becoming persons, becoming ancestors. Personhood, memory and the corpse in Roman rituals of social remembrance
This article examines the role of social memory and the treatment of the corpse within the reconfiguration of personhood in the Roman world. Exploring the significance of ‘remembering and forgetting’, it emphasizes the importance of memory and the body as a context for the manipulation of post-mortem personhood and identity. An extraordinarily rich collection of archaeological and epigraphic evidence associated with the Augustan-period senator Ma…
