"Tongres s'enorgueillit d'être la plus ancienne des villes présentes sur le territoire actuel de la Belgique. Il ne se passe pratiquement pas d'année sans que des découvertes fortuites ou des fouilles en bonne et due forme ne viennent enrichir le patrimoine romain de l'agglomération. L'objet que nous présentons a été exhumé en 2016, à l'occasion d'un chantier ouvert le long de la Regulierenplein, dans la partie sud-ouest du noyau urbain, à quelque 350 mètres à vol d'oiseau de la statue d'Ambiorix, point de rallie-ment des visiteurs de la cité. La fouille était placée sous la responsabilité de la Société ARON bvba 1 , active depuis 2001 dans la sauvegarde des trésors archéologiques de Tongres et de sa région. La tablette de plomb qui retient ici notre attention porte un texte incisé, incluant divers dessins ou signes. On y reconnaît un instrument de magie maléfique-une défixion, selon la terminologie usuelle. Des documents de cette espèce ont été retrouvés en abondance dans toutes les régions du monde classique. Ils ne sont pas rares dans les provinces septentrionales de l'Empire romain, mais, pour le territoire de la Belgique moderne, la tablette de Tongres est le premier objet qui puisse être interprété avec assurance comme une défixion..."

"In In Blood and Ashes: Curse Tablets and Binding Spells in Ancient Greece, Jessica Lamont provides the first historical study of the development and dissemination of ritualized curse practice in the ancient Greek world, alongside that of binding spells, incantations, and other private rites. Documenting the cultural pressures that drove the practice of ancient Greek magic, this book reveals the ways in which individuals worked to negotiate with the world (here in the literal sense) "underground"-conjuring the powers of the Underworld, and calling upon the dead to assist the living. The study of such rituals expands our understanding of daily life in ancient communities, providing rare insights into how individuals were making sense of the world and coping with conflict, vulnerability, competition, anxiety, desire, and loss. Curse tablets in particular document persons who often slip through the cracks of traditional histories, enabling us to approach antiquity through a broader lens: here are the cooks, tavern keepers, garland weavers, helmsmen, craftspersons, and barbers. Bringing together epigraphic, historical, literary, archaeological, and material evidence, Lamont reads between the traditional narratives of Archaic, Classical, and early Hellenistic Greece, drawing out new voices, and presenting new histories to consider. These texts and objects offer glimpses into the public and private lives of individuals from c.500 BCE through Late Antiquity, illuminating the interplay of ritual and conflict-management strategies among citizens and slaves, men and women, pagans and Christians. Filled with new material and insights, Lamont's volume offers a fresh perspective on ancient Greek social history and religion from c.750-250 BCE, one that highlights the role played by ritual in negotiating life's uncertainties"--

The first comprehensive study of early Celtic cursing, this work analyses both medieval and ancient expressions of Celtic imprecation: from the binding tablets of ancient Britain and Gaul to the saintly maledictions of the early medieval period, and other traces of Celtic stipulation and binding only speculated on in earlier scholarship. It provides the first full overview and analyses of the ancient Celtic use of binding curses (as attested in Old Celticand Latin inscriptions) and examines their mooted influence in later medieval expressions. Ancient finds (among them long Gaulish curse texts, Celtic Latin Curse tablets found from the Alpine regions to Britain, and fragments of Old Brittonic tablets excavated from Roman Bath) are subjected to rigorous new interpretations, and medieval reflections of the earlier tradition are also considered. BERNARD MEES gained his PhD from the University of Melbourne.

"Fluchen ist in der antiken Welt ein Alltagsphänomen. Dabei setzten antike Menschen für Flüche, die besonders wirksam sein sollten, auf das geschriebene Wort. Vielhundertfach haben sich entsprechende Fluchtafeln (defixiones) auf Blei und anderen Schriftträgern erhalten. Die Texte erlauben einen faszinierenden Einblick in eine dunkle Welt des antiken Alltags, in den Umgang mit Konkurrenzsituationen aller Art und in erlittene Unrechtserfahrungen. In diesen Texten lassen antike Menschen der Befriedigung ihrer Bedürfnisse und dem Wunsch nach Rache unter Rückgriff auf übermenschliche Mächte freien Lauf. Nicht selten wünschen sie ihrem Gegenüber dabei den Tod an den Hals. Die Beiträge in diesem Band nehmen die antiken defixiones erstmals gro�flächig aus exegetischer Sicht in den Blick und ziehen sie in produktiver Weise zur Interpretation neutestamentlicher Texte heran."
