- 요약In ancient Rome of the archaic and classical periods (c. 400 B.C.E. to 200 C.E.), individuals sought refuge, or sanctuary, from persecution in the protection of the gods. This crucial institution, available to all including the poor and powerless, has been overlooked-and in some cases even outright denied-in contemporary scholarship on Roman politics and imperialism, which prefers to highlight Romans' bellicosity. This dissertation demonstrates, however, that seeking sanctuary in an inviolable sacred place was a real option for self-help in the Roman world. After an introductory sketch of the evidence that Roman sacred spaces were genuinely protective of refugees, Chapter One embeds sanctuaries in the broader history of Roman religion and of sanctuary and refuge generally. Sacred spaces were so inviolable that diplomats met there for deliberations since they were "zones of peace." Chapters Two and Three look at mechanisms that allowed sanctuary to function. Refugees could claim protection from their pursuers in a given place through morally laden speech acts that became influential parts of Roman law and civic rights. Bystander commentary expressed intense moral outrage that could inspire political consequences when refugees were attacked. Chapter Four demonstrates that scholars' long reliance on a sacred/profane dichotomy is misplaced and obscures the greater potential for sanctuary due to the wider variety of inviolable sacred spaces than is commonly considered. Chapter Five envisions how Romans found belonging in a given group thanks to what we can know about the religion practiced in the sacred spaces of Roman collegia, concluding that contemporary notions of "safe space" correspond to sanctuary. A conclusion summarises the dissertation's central argument and plots prospective avenues for further research.
