Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic titleThe Feriale Duranum is a calendar of religious observances for a Roman military garrison at Dura-Europos on the Euphrates, Roman Syria, under the reign of Severus Alexander (224–235 AD).

History and description

The small papyrus roll was discovered among the documents of an auxiliary cohort, the Cohors XX Palmyrenorum (Twentieth Cohort of Palmyrenes),Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp in the Temple of Azzanathkona.Шаблон:Sfnp The calendar, written in Latin, is arranged in four columns, with some gaps. It offers important evidence for the religious life of the Roman military and the role of Imperial cult in promoting loyalty to the Roman emperor,Шаблон:Sfnp and for the coexistence of Roman state religion and local religious traditions.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp

Festivals named include Quinquatria (a purification of arms), the birthday of Rome, Neptunalia and two Rosaliae at which the military standards were adorned with roses.Шаблон:Sfnp The calendar prescribes sacrifices for deities of traditional Roman religion such as the Capitoline triad of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, as well as Mars and Vesta.Шаблон:Sfnp About twenty members of the imperial family are honored as divi, divinized mortals, including six women and Germanicus, who was never an emperor.Шаблон:Sfnp Twenty-seven of the forty-three entries that remain legible pertain to Imperial cult.Шаблон:Sfnp No Eastern mystery religions, which were widely celebrated in the Empire during this period, nor local cults are recorded as an official observance of the army,Шаблон:Sfnp but the feriale was found in the temple with a dipinto depicting a Roman officer offering incense to the local deity Iarḥibol, and Romans, including a standard-bearer with the cohort's vexillum, standing before the altar of the Syrian gods Iarḥibol, Aglibol and Arṣu.Шаблон:Sfnp It has also been argued that the three gods represent the emperors Pupienus, Balbinus, and Gordian III.Шаблон:Sfnp A copy of the calendar may have been issued to each unit throughout the Empire to further military cohesion as well as Roman identity among troops from other cultures.Шаблон:Sfnp

The cache of documents was discovered by a team of archaeologists from Yale University working at Dura-Europos in 1931–32.Шаблон:Sfnp It was first published by R. O. Fink, A. S. Hooey, and Walter Fifield Snyder (1940), "The Feriale Duranum," Yale Classical Studies 7: 1–222.Шаблон:Sfnp
