Foedus signifies the bonds between nations, men, men and women, friends, humans and gods, gods and goddesses, and the mass of matter that gives shape to the universe. From private and civic life to cosmology, Roman authors, time and time again, utilized the idea of ritual alliance to construct their narratives about Rome. To put it succinctly, Roman civilization in its broadest terms was conditioned on ritual alliance. Yet, lurking behind every Roman relationship, in the shadows of Roman social and international relations, in the dark recesses of cosmic law, were the breakdown and violation of ritual alliance and the release of social pollution. Rethinking Roman Alliance investigates Roman culture and society through the lens of foedus and its consequences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Latin poetry $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008106706 650 0 $a Ritual in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85114229 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Rome. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008106691 650 7 $a HISTORY / Ancient / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Latin poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993373 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Ritual in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098256 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED91C11AFC1E11E7B7150C4F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
