Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Roman religion, specifically focusing on the enigmatic Lupercalia festival. The author argues that understanding this complex ritual requires looking beyond the dominant Aryan influences and exploring the beliefs and practices of the earlier Mediterranean inhabitants of Italy. By comparing Roman cults with similar ones in Greece, particularly those associated with the Pelasgians, the author sheds light on the Lupercalia's mysterious origins and evolution. The book explores the worship of earth deities, the significance of animal symbolism (such as the wolf and goat), and the role of purification and fertility rites in shaping Roman religious identity. This exploration reveals a fascinating interplay between Aryan and Mediterranean beliefs, highlighting how the Romans adopted and adapted older traditions to create a unique religious landscape. The author's insights into the Lupercalia offer a fresh perspective on the development of Roman religion and its enduring influence on Western culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Drawing from a new perspective on Mediterranean history, this book interrogates the Lupercalia, an enigmatic Roman festival of ancient origins. The author argues that the Lupercalia's baffling rituals and contradictory narratives can be better understood by recognizing the strong influence of pre-Aryan, Mediterranean peoples on Roman civilization and religion. Like other Mediterranean religions, the author explains, Roman religion was predominantly chthonic, characterized by earth deities, magic rites, and a preoccupation with fertility and purification. By comparing the Lupercalia to similar cults in Greece and Italy, the author uncovers its roots in the beliefs and practices of these earlier inhabitants. The Lupercalia, the author argues, was a complex ritual that brought together disparate elements from both Mediterranean and Indo-European traditions. Through a deep examination of the festival's history and its broader religious context, this book sheds new light on the diverse and fascinating origins of Roman religion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
