| Tartalmi kivonat: | This paper discusses Roman eating customs during the mourning period and memorial days. During purifying rituals, the Romans sacrificed pigs and wethers, eating the meat of the animals afterwards. At their burial feasts, the deceased was also present, eating, and drinking wine. On the ninth day after the burial, eggs and lentils were prepared and salted. Memorial day meals consisted of water, wine, milk, oil and honey. When lamps were lit on the graves, the dead were brought food: beans, salted lentils, fruit, eggs and bread, and the relatives and acquaintances held a memorial feast at the grave. The dead drank water, milk and honey, but were partial to wine. The role of wine was attested by the drinking vessels and glass artifacts found in the graves. The custom and the ad sanctos burial make sense in light of the life-giving power of blood and wine. The blood of martyrs had vitalizing power; if the burialtook place near a martyr, it was as if the dead were drinking wine, asif the martyr's blood coursed through them. This is akin to walking by martyrions and drinking wine; it is a salute to the martyr, whose blood gives life. The blood of the ones who have died for Christ is in fact a drink, and gives eternal life. |
