Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines two riddles surrounding a little-known religious practice in ancient Rome, the sacra Idulia. The first riddle is where the ceremony took place, and the second is whether the offering was a ram or a ewe. To solve these riddles, the author must first delve into Roman history and religion, particularly the nature and role of Jupiter, the chief Roman god, in Roman religious practice, before presenting his analysis of the surviving evidence, which is often contradictory and confusing. The book concludes that the sacrifice took place on the Arx, the northern summit of the Capitoline Hill, and that the victim was in fact a ewe, not a ram, and goes on to discuss the significance of these findings for our understanding of Jupiter's role in Roman society.
