Abstract

How did state power impinge on the religion of the ordinary person? This perennial issue has been sharpened as historians uncover the process of 'confessionalization' or 'acculturation', by which officials of state and Church collaborated in ambitious programs of Protestant or Catholic reform, intended to change the religious consciousness and the behaviour of ordinary men and women. In the belief that specialists in one area of the globe can learn from the questions posed by colleagues working in the same period in other regions, this 2005 volume sets the topic in a wider framework. Thirteen essays, grouped in themes affording parallel views of England and Europe, Tsarist Russia, and Ming China, show a spectrum of possibilities for what early modern governments tried to achieve by regulating religious life, and for how religious communities evolved in new directions, either in keeping with or in spite of official injunctions.

Abstract

Das Synodaldekret aus dem Jahre 243 v. Chr. wurde von Ptolemaios III. in Alexandria erlassen und - wie das Kanopus-Dekret und der Stein von Rosette - in drei Sprachen in den Tempeln Ägyptens veröffentlicht. Dieses bisher unbekannte Dekret stammt von einer Stele aus einem Provinztempel in Mittelägypten, die den kompletten hieroglyphischen und demotischen Text liefert. Zwar fehlt die griechische Fassung, doch kann sie mithilfe der hieroglyphischen und demotischen Vorlage aus Fragmenten wiederhergestellt werden, die heute in verschiedenen Museen aufbewahrt werden. Gegenstand des Dekrets sind die Bekanntmachung der Feierlichkeiten zum Geburtstag und zum Thronbesteigungstag des Königs Ptolemaios III., zum Geburtstag seiner Gemahlin Berenike sowie die Stiftungen von Statuen und Opfern anlässlich der Feiern. Die historische Bedeutung des Dekrets ergibt sich daraus, dass in ihm über den Beginn des Dritten Syrischen Kriegs (246-245), über die Rückführung der von den Persern geraubten Götterbilder sowie über die Fürsorge des Königs für die Bevölkerung und die Tempel Ägyptens berichtet wird und dass die exakten Daten der Königsfeste mitgeteilt werden.

Abstract

Although Nemesis was already revered in Archaic Greece, the main evidence for worship comes from the Roman Principate. During this period two important facets of the cult were the association of the goddess with the state, and her presence in agonistic contexts. Nemesis, the Roman State and the Games explores these aspects, discerning a possible connection between them. The author begins by discussing the origin and background of the goddess. He then clarifies the ways in which the goddess was enlisted into the service of the Roman emperor and state. Finally, he explains the presence of the goddess almost exclusively at the Roman Munus and Venatio as derived from the function of such games to express the proper order of society. Nemesis represents a significant re-evaluation of the place of Nemesis in the Roman World. The book also provides an invaluable corpus of epigraphic, literary, and iconographic evidence for the goddess.
