orichalcum at 07:58pm on 26/08/2005So, I'm going through a last set of diss. notes from my advisor, which I missed in the first several runs, and editing my chapter on Roman religion.
My sentence: "From a Roman perspective, the most important aspect here is the likely importation of the Ludovisi Throne to Rome itself, possibly along with other aspects of the Locrian Aphrodite cult such as the veneration of the goddess by scantily clad flute-girl prostitutes.
My (60sish Oxford-educated male advisor)'s comment in the margins: "But have you any examples of Rome's importing religious practices associated with booty?"
