Mano magica in bronzo del culto di Sebazio Hand making the votive gesture of benedictio Latina

Mano magica in bronzo del culto di Sebazio, Hand making the votive gesture of benedictio Latina: a distinctive feature of Sebazio's cult. Parco Archeologico di Pompei SABAZIOS , a god of the Thracians and the Phrygians, is also known from Greek and Latin sources as Sabadios, Sauazios, Saazios, Sabos, Sebazios, Sabadius, and Sebadius. His name is related to the Macedonian word sauâdai, or saûdoi, meaning "satyrs" (Detschew, 1957, p. 427). According to some scholars (e.g., Lozovan, 1968), he was a Thracian mountain god whose cult was carried by Phrygian emigrants from Thrace to Anatolia. Greek sources from the fifth century bce onward mention Sabazios as a Thracian or Phrygian god. In Athens, his cult's initiation ceremonies took place by night, and the adepts were purified by being rubbed with mud. A sacramental drink was also involved. The identification of Sabazios with Dionysos, which occurs regularly in Hellenistic sources, is unquestionable. However, Phrygian inscriptions relate him to Zeus, and in North Africa, where his cult is attested as early as the fourth century bce, he might have had the features of a heavenly god; hence he was later identified with the Semitic god Baal, both of them receiving the Greek epithet hupsistos ("highest, supreme"). He was probably worshiped in Thrace under other local names, such as Athyparenos, Arsilenos, Batalde Ouenos, Eleneites, Mytorgenos, Ouerzel(enos), and Tasibastenus Sabazios's name has been connected with the Indo-European *swo-, meaning "[his] own," and with the idea of freedom, which occurs frequently among the epithets of Dionysos. Franz Cumont has suggested a relationship with the Illyrian sabaia, or sabaium, identifying a beer extracted from cereals (see Russu, 1969, p. 241). More recently, Gheorghe Muşu has translated Sabazios as "sap god," from the Indo-European roots *sap- ("taste, perceive") and *sab- ("juice, fluid"). This translation corresponds well to the pattern of Dionysos/Sabazios, who was the divinity of humidity and as such was connected with both vegetation and intoxication (see Muşu, in Vulpe, 1980, pp. 333–336). The Jews of Syria and Anatolia identified Sabazios with Sabaoth. Under the Roman rulers Sabazios was worshiped in Thrace, where he was more often known as Sebazios or, in Latin, Sabazius, Sabadius, or Sebadius and where he received such epithets as epekoos ("benevolent"), kurios ("lord"), megistos ("greatest"), and so forth. In Crimea, probably under Jewish-Anatolian influence, he was called hupsistos. He was constantly identified with both Zeus and the sun. Motifs of hands making the votive gesture of benedictio Latina are among the distinctive features of his cult. According to several Christian writers (Clement of Alexandria, Arnobius, and Firmicus Maternus), the most impressive rite of initiation into the mysteries of Sabazios consisted of the adept's contact with a snake (aureus coluber ) that was first put over his breast (per sinum ducunt ) and then pulled down to his genitals. No less enigmatic than Zalmoxis, Sabazios was worshiped as early as the fourth century bce both as a chthonic and as a heavenly god. Scholars have too often tried to solve this riddle by supposing a borrowing from Jewish religion, but Jewish influence was not relevant in Anatolia before the third century bce. One should rather consider that chthonic features determined the character of the Thracian Sabazios, whereas the Phrygian Sabazios was probably connected with the sky. https://www.encyclopedia.com/environm... Sabazio, in greco antico: Σαβάζιος, in latino: Sabazĭus. fu un Dio di probabile origine tracio-frigia, venerato nel V sec. a.c., il cui culto orgiastico e liberatorio che molto attecchiva tra le classi inferiori, attirò non poca ostilità dagli ambienti colti greci. Ciononostante il culto continuò a diffondersi e nel II sec. a.c. giunse a Roma, da cui si tentò di bandirlo nel 139. LE MANI PANTEE Altre sette mani Pantee erano state scoperte negli scavi di Ercolano e Pompei. Le mani Pantee, legate al culto di Sabazio, erano un vero oggetto liturgico fissato su aste portate nelle processioni, oppure ospitato nei santuari o nelle case per il culto domestico, e riproducevano la mano destra, con il gesto detto di “benedizione latina” e associata a diversi simboli variamente disposti. Vi si notano un serpente, una pigna, un piccolo busto di Hermes (Mercurio), una testa di ariete, un vaso, una focaccia, un minuscolo insetto, una bilancia, una tartaruga, una rana, il caduceo alato di Mercurio una lucertola. https://www.romanoimpero.com/2021/08/...
