Paperback. Condizione: New. 'Performing the Sacra: Priestly roles and their organisation in Roman Britain' addresses a range of cultural responses to the Roman conquest of Britain with regard to priestly roles. The approach is based on current theoretical trends focussing on dynamics of adaptation, multiculturalism, and appropriation and discarding a sharp distinction between local and Roman cults. The perspective is shifted from a centre-periphery model towards a spectrum of cultural responses. The book investigates a wide range of published and unpublished evidence to examine three main themes: a model of priesthood organisation, the embodiment of priestly authorities in a provincial environment, and how the different depositional contexts of priestly regalia contribute to our understanding of these roles. Previous accounts of this type of evidence from Britain has often linked the objects to local cults, for being somehow specific to the province. This was based on a limited search for comparisons among the evidence from other areas of the Roman world, both in terms of the individual objects and of the overall priestly organisation. Here, a methodical investigation of objects identifiable as priestly regalia and ceremonial tools was integrated into an assessment of historical, epigraphic, and iconographic sources. Mapped via the creation of a Geographic Information System and highlighting regional distributions, this work contributes to our understanding of the fluid provincial culture behind the religious organisation of the ritual landscape of Britain. …

Brossura. Condizione: new. Roma, 2025; br., pp. 194, cm 11,5x19.(Kairós). Dopo "Frammenti di frastuono" (SBS Edizioni), Alessandra Esposito torna con un nuovo viaggio, questa volta epistolare.

Sono lettere che parlano di amore e assenza, di silenzi e ricordi, di paure e rinascite. Ogni frammento invita a fermarsi e a riflettere sul valore dell'ascolto e della scrittura come atto di verità e condivisione. Un libro che non si limita a essere letto, ma che accompagna il lettore in un percorso di consapevolezza e riconoscimento del sé attraverso le parole. Libro.…

Brossura. Condizione: new. Roma, 2024; br., pp. 150, cm 15x21. (Kairós). "Frammenti di Frastuono" inizia come un diario personale, trasformandosi rapidamente in un coinvolgente dialogo con il lettore, che potrebbe riconoscere nel manoscritto la propria voce. La narrazione, condotta in prima persona, è articolata in 12 "Frammenti", oltre a un introduttivo frammento zero. Ogni sezione, identificata da un titolo semplice come "Lo specchio", "L'amore" o "Il silenzio", è un'occasione per Alessandra di esprimere emozioni, ricordi, aspirazioni e fantasie. Attraverso queste parole chiave, non solo racconta, ma invita il lettore in un dialogo aperto, fatto di domande dirette e riflessioni condivise, creando un'esperienza di lettura profondamente interattiva e sincera. Prefazione di Gregorio Di Rita. Libro. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. Ritual in the Roman World expands our current understanding of what are considered ritual behaviours in the Roman period, bringing together research on small finds, depositional practice, and temple sites. As a material representation of the attempt to put order and definition to one's world, examining ritual practices offers insight into both social and cosmological structures within a given cultural context. In this context, the Roman world is understood functioning as a globalised/glocalised system and fostering a spectrum of ritualised behaviours across its different regions and periods. This was the result of a long habit of incorporating and rejecting local traditions encountered during its expansion as well as interfacing with those of the peoples outside its borders.By bringing together research on small finds as well as temple sites, this volume presents new discoveries in the field as well as innovative interpretative approaches applied to instances of continuity of use of ritual sites, including across the pre-Roman/Roman/post-Roman transitions, as well as instances of modern uses of Roman period ritual spaces so to frame ritual behaviours beyond the traditional connection of ritual practices and religious beliefs.…

It highlights continuity across preRoman to postRoman phases and even modern reuses of ritual spaces.
