Women’s devotions in the epigraphy of Roman Lusitania

Women’s devotions in the epigraphy of Roman Lusitania

Abstract

The main motivation for this research is the lack of works on the history of Lusitanian women. Despite the numerous studies on the Roman religious world, there is a significant lack of research on the interpretation of women’s beliefs in Lusitania. From a gender perspective, this line of research has been particularly innovative in recent decades and has been taken up by various researchers who have updated the epigraphic corpora and subjected the subject to a profound process of debate and reflection. The epigraphic documentation provides a series of specific references to the geographical area in which the Lusitanian women’s cults were established. It is precisely through the votive inscriptions that we can see how the women of the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, consciously or unconsciously, took advantage of the cultural change to take a more interested approach to their cultic demands, both in their religious and personal spheres. It should be added that the prototype of the devout Lusitanian woman is defined by her predilection for certain gods, protectors of her personal and family environment, which to some extent determined her choice of religious practices. Most of these ritual practices took place in sanctuaries or places of worship located in rural areas, with a clear diffusion and permanence of pre-Roman beliefs that coexisted with Roman cults. In fact, the lack of archaeological documentation is an obstacle to a more detailed knowledge of the religious epigraphy of a rural world, allowing to make a global analysis of its socio-cultural context.

Несмотря на наличие многочисленных изданий, посвященных римскому религиозному миру, в настоящее время наблюдается нехватка научных работ, интерпретирующих женские верования в Лузитании. С точки зрения гендерной проблематики это направление исследований стало особенно актуальным в последние десятилетия и заинтересовало ученых, которые обновили корпуса памятников эпиграфики, а также глубоко проанализировали данную тему. Эпиграфические памятники дают ряд конкретных указаний на географическую область, в которой были основаны лузитанские женские культы. Именно по вотивным надписям можно проследить, как женщины с юго-запада Пиренейского полуострова сознательно или бессознательно воспользовались культурными изменениями, чтобы более заинтересованно подойти к своим культовым требованиям как в религиозной, так и в личной сфере. Следует добавить, что прототип благочестивой лузитанской женщины характеризовался ее поклонением определенным богам, покровителям личного и семейного окружения, что в некоторой степени влияло на выбор ею религиозных практик. Большинство этих ритуальных практик проводились в святилищах или местах поклонения, расположенных в сельской местности, что свидетельствует о распространении доримских верований, которые сосуществовали с римскими культами, и их постоянстве. Фактически отсутствие археологической документации препятствует более детальному изучению религиозной эпиграфики сельского мира, что позволяет провести глобальный анализ его социокультурного контекста.
