About this title

Synopsis

Unlock the hidden world of Roman belief in magic and its practical use in daily life. This study examines how ancient Italians relied on amulets and sympathetic magic to protect health and shape fate, blending folklore with early science.

Drawing on Latin sources and key scholars, the work traces how prophylactic magic guided medical practice and popular superstition. It explains what amulets are, how they were made, and why Romans trusted these charms alongside early medical ideas. The discussion also shows how later writers still reflected these beliefs, even as classical learning evolved.

Explore the idea of sympathia and its role in disease prevention

See how ancient authors treated magic alongside early medicine

Understand why prophylactic beliefs persisted into later Rome
