Abstract
El sacrificio romano ha sido objeto de estudio desde distintas perspectivas y dentro del campo religioso. Siempre se ha estudiado la inmolación desde el punto de vista cultual, en el que se veía cómo hacer el sacrificio correctamente, el sacrificio dentro del marco vinculado con los dioses. Siempre se ha estudiado el sacrificio desde la óptica de uno de los elementos más que tenían los romanos para rendir culto a los dioses. Estudiándose este proceso cultual como una práctica en la que siempre ha de ser correcta. En este sentido, hemos estudiado lo contrario, los errores que se producen dentro del sacrificio romano. Un funcionamiento del sacrificio que nos ayuda a definir mejor cómo se hacía y qué ocurría cuando se cometía algún error y sus consecuencias legales. De igual manera se reflexiona sobre no sólo el contenido erróneo del mismo, sino también la manipulación política y literaria que hay en torno al uso interesado del sacrificio. También la adivinación y los augurios, falseados o no, la selección del animal a sacrificar, los personajes más importantes que interactúan dentro de la inmolación, los ruidos y silencios dentro del mismo, así como la consecuencia económica, legal que podría tener cometer el error...
Roman sacrifice has been studied from different perspectives and within the religious field. Immolation has always been studied from the cultural point of view: how to sacrifice correctly and sacrifice within the framework of the gods. Sacrifice has always been seen as just another element used by the Romans to worship the gods. This cult process has been studied as a practice which always must have been carried out correctly. Here, we have studied the opposite: the errors that occur within Roman sacrifice. The analysis of the sacrifice praxis helps us to better define how it was done and what would have happened when a mistake was made and its legal consequences. In the same way, one not only reflects on the erroneous content of the sacrifice, but also on the political and literary manipulation that exists in and around the self-interested use of sacrifice. Also the divination and the auguries, falsified or not, the selection of the animal to be sacrificed, the most important characters that interact in the act of immolation, the noises and silences, as well as the economic and legal consequences that committing an error might have implied...
