Listen "Curse tablets and figurines."
Episode Synopsis
In this Night of the Livy Dead Halloween special I discuss the types of curses which made it onto tablets and figurines from antiquity. Starting with ancient Egypt and ending in the later Roman period I look into what they were used for, who they were used against and what it tells us about how people were living. As you might imagine it can get very, very personal. Episode notes at www.ancientblogger.com with a reading list, transcription and more. Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental).
