ROME:
I imagine that many of you are seeing in these days the HBO series, Rome.
Well, to all who are following, here you can find some answers to terms, customs, traditions, etc. leaving gods referred to in the series and understand their meanings.
leave with the word that appeared in the fourth chapter
O evocative evocative. This word evoke
an old religious ceremony performed by the Romans for military purposes and could be used for two different purposes.
The first ceremony was used when the Romans were besieging an enemy city and wanted to capture. The Roman priest in the battlefield, performing the ritual of evocative, where they asked the gods that protected the city, to be left to defend and to switch to his side. As a reward they were promised they would be added to their pantheon of gods, to be honored and revered as one of yours.
also this ritual is performed when a former soldier (Most of the rank of Centurion o'ercomest or higher) was called by one of its commanders to return to serve in the ranks of his legions. This will create a kind of spiritual contract between the commanders and the new member of his army, who had a special status and more benefits in return for loyalty to his commander to death. Sal
