Sinopsis

'Evocationem Deorum Ex Oppidis Obsessis E Memoria Veteri Repetitam' explores the ancient Roman practice of ?evocatio,? the ritualistic summoning of a city?s protective deities during a siege. Jacob F. Lüdecke and Johann Christian Krackow delve into historical accounts and archaeological evidence to examine the religious and strategic significance of this custom.The book investigates the beliefs surrounding city gods and goddesses, and how the Romans attempted to persuade these deities to abandon their besieged city in favor of Rome. By analyzing the historical context and the specific invocations used, the authors shed light on the complex interplay between religion, warfare, and political power in the ancient world. This detailed study offers insights into Roman religious practices and their impact on military campaigns.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
