The Floods of the Tiber and Resilience in Ancient Rome: Narratives and Interpretations

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Flooding was a frequent environmental disaster in the urban history of Rome in the ancient period. This papercontends that religion and mythology were the primary means of resilience used to cope with repeatedchallenges presented by Tiber inundations. The annual sacrifice of the Argei and the office of the pontifices asguardians of the Sublician bridge provide unique examples of religious resilience at work as they are basedon the tacit acknowledgment of flooding as an inevitable fact of life, accommodated in the framework of anannual religious practice. Myths are essential vehicles of the production of meaning deployed by the ancientsto explain the changing physical environment of the river. Various authors (Livy, Ennius, Cicero) formed a rangeof narratives around Tiber floods and the best attested instances reflect the needs of Roman political elites,who attempted to align the divine status of the river with their claims of controlling the environment. Perhapsthe most famous episode took place in January of 27 BC on the very night when the princeps assumed hispresumptuous new name, Augustus.
