The most pervasive gods in ancient Rome had no traditional mythology attached to them, nor was their worship organized by elites. Throughout the Roman world, neighborhood street corners, farm boundaries, and household hearths featured small shrines to the beloved lares, a pair of cheerful little dancing gods. These shrines were maintained primarily by ordinary Romans, and often by slaves and freedmen, for whom the lares cult provided a unique public leadership role. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated book, the first to focus on the lares, Harriet Flower offers a strikingly original account of these gods and a new way of understanding the lived experience of everyday Roman religion. Weaving together a wide range of evidence, Flower sets forth a new interpretation of the much-disputed nature of the lares. She makes the case that they are not spirits of the dead, as many have argued, but rather benevolent protectors--gods of place, especially the household and the neighborhood, and of travel. She examines the rituals honoring the lares, their cult sites, and their iconography, as well as the meaning of the snakes often depicted alongside lares in paintings of gardens. She also looks at Compitalia, a popular midwinter neighborhood festival in honor of the lares, and describes how its politics played a key role in Rome's increasing violence in the 60s and 50s BC, as well as in the efforts of Augustus to reach out to ordinary people living in the city's local neighborhoods. A reconsideration of seemingly humble gods that were central to the religious world of the Romans, this is also the first major account of the full range of lares worship in the homes, neighborhoods, and temples of ancient Rome.

Rom unterlag zwischen dem 3. und 5. Jh. n. Chr. einem tief greifenden Transformationsprozess, der die urbane, soziale und religiöse Struktur der Stadt in gleicher Weise erfasste. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt mit der Heiligenerinnerung ein zentrales Feld dieses Wandels in den Blick. Ausgehend vom kulturwissenschaftlichen Paradigma kollektiver Identitätsstiftung durch Erinnerung, wird die Funktion der Heiligenmemoria im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche kollektiver Identitäten untersucht: die Gemeinschaft der Lebenden und Toten, die städtische Gemeinde der urbs Roma; die römische Kirche und schismastische Gemeindebildungen; der private Raum der domus; die durch die römischen Heiligenlegenden konstituierte literarische Öffentlichkeit. Angesichts der bedeutenden Rolle von Erinnerung für die antike Stadtkultur eröffnet die Heiligenmemoria zugleich eine neue Perspektive auf die städtische Entwicklung Roms im Übergang von der Spätantike zum Frühmittelalter insgesamt. Dabei ist Memoria selbst - so die abschließende These - mehr als nur ein Indikator von Veränderung: Die spezifisch christliche Konzeptualisierung von Erinnerung bildete eine der Voraussetzungen, die im Verein mit anderen Faktoren die Auflösung der spätantiken Stadt entscheidend beförderte.

"Jerome of Stridon promoted a new model of Christian nobility that safeguards traditional Roman values and the exclusivity of the illustres. In this study, Jessica van 't Westeinde demonstrates how the difference between the true nobility and the nouveau riche becomes visible in Jerome's corresondence with these elites." --

Issu d’une enquête collective du Centre d’anthropologie religieuse européenne (CARE), Reliques romaines est la première vue d’ensemble d’un phénomène massif : la diffusion des « corps saints » extraits des catacombes de Rome, de leur « invention » moderne en 1578 au XIXe siècle. L’ouvrage présente une triple originalité. Tout d’abord, il combine un socle documentaire commun (les archives romaines de la distribution) avec des études de cas portant sur de multiples terrains de la réception (du Mexique à la Pologne, des Pays-Bas à la péninsule Ibérique, de l’Allemagne à la France en passant par la Suisse et l’Italie), mettant ainsi en relation des sources et des historiographies jusqu’alors restées disjointes. L’ouvrage peut donc mener de front – et c’est sa seconde originalité – l’histoire institutionnelle, l’histoire sociale et l’histoire religieuse des reliques, explorant toute l’épaisseur du processus de diffusion sans dissocier sa matérialité de sa dimension spirituelle, ses traits communs des parcours individuels qui l’animent. Cette double conjonction permet enfin une réflexion sur les échelles et les temporalités du phénomène : entre universalisme romain et appropriation locale, des rythmes multiples (ceux de la distinction sociale ou des clientèles romaines, ceux de l’acclimatation de la relique ou des conjonctures pèlerines) et des configurations spatiales emboîtées (des grands fronts de catholicité aux querelles de clocher, du réseau des cours princières à celui des implantations jésuites) font des « corps saints des catacombes » un passionnant laboratoire pour une histoire connectant l’ensemble de la catholicité au plus humble sanctuaire.
