Synopsis

""The Ritual Significance of Yellow Among the Romans"" is a scholarly work by Francis Marion Dana that explores the cultural and religious significance of the color yellow in ancient Roman society. The book examines the various ways in which yellow was used in religious rituals, artistic representations, and everyday life, and how it was associated with specific deities, such as Apollo and the sun god Sol. Dana draws on a wide range of primary sources, including literary works, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of yellow in Roman culture. The book also delves into the symbolism and meanings of yellow in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt and Greece, and how these influenced Roman beliefs and practices. Overall, ""The Ritual Significance of Yellow Among the Romans"" is a fascinating and informative study of the intersection between color, religion, and culture in one of the most influential civilizations in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
