Résumé
From the thunderous roar of the Colosseum to the torchlit grandeur of the Capitoline Hill, Public Rituals, Feasts, and Games in Ancient Rome transports readers into the heart of an empire built on spectacle, faith, and power. Liam Wilkinson weaves vivid scenes of gladiators locked in mortal combat, charioteers hurtling around the Circus Maximus, and senators flanked by the augurs as they interpret celestial omens.
Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, the book reveals how triumphal processions and lavish banquets were more than entertainment-they were lifelines to the gods, instruments of political control, and crucibles of social identity. You'll discover the hidden dramas behind the Saturnalia's carnival of role reversals, the sacred secrets of the Vestal Virgins, and the intoxicating blend of reverence and revelry that defined the ludi (public games).
From the roaring tensions in the Hippodrome to the quiet rituals at the household shrine, Wilkinson's masterful storytelling brings Ancient Rome to electric life. Ideal for history enthusiasts, cultural travelers, and anyone fascinated by the interplay of religion and power, this book shines a spotlight on the rituals that forged-and ultimately defined-the world's greatest empire.
