20.500.12556/RUL-179774 Clamosi gloria Circi sloviti rimski dirkači in njihov družbeni položaj v času principata Clamosi gloria Circi famous Roman charioteers and their social status during the principate Čeprav je o rimskih dirkah z vozovi kot eni izmed najpriljubljenejših zvrsti rimskega športnega spektakla, znanega razmeroma veliko, pa stvarnost njihovih protagonistov v marsičem ostaja nejasna. Cirkuški dirkači (agitatores, aurigae) so v socialno-ekonomskem okviru rimskega cesarstva predstavljali kompleksen in večplasten družbeni fenomen. Pričujoči prispevek na podlagi izbranih pisnih virov in epigrafskih spomenikov obravnava njihov osebno-pravni status in z njim povezan problem infamije (infamia) ter osvetljuje vsestransko ambivalentnost, ki je zaznamovala njihov družbeni položaj. Podrobnejša analiza literarnih virov iz obdobja cesarstva razkrije, da odnos rimskih višjih družbenih slojev do dirkačev ni bil tako enoplasten, kot se zdi na prvi pogled. Čeprav so se pripadniki rimske elite formalno zavzemali za prezir, zaničevanje in diskriminacijo nastopajočih v cirkusu, so ti isti posamezniki cirkuške dirke redno obiskovali in se nad dirkači celo navduševali. Although Roman chariot racing is known to have been one of the most popular types of Roman sporting spectacle, the real circumstances of its protagonists remain unclear in many respects. Charioteers (agitatores, aurigae) represented a complex and multifaceted social phenomenon in the socio-economic context of the Roman Empire. Based on se-lected written sources and epigraphic monuments, this article discusses their personal legal status and the related problem of infamy (infamia) and highlights the multifaceted ambivalence that characterised their social position. A more detailed analysis of literary sources from the imperial period reveals that the attitude of the Roman upper classes towards charioteers was not as uniform as it seems at first glance. Although members of the Roman elite formally advocated contempt, disdain, and discrimination against circus performers, these same individuals regularly attended circus races and even cheered on the charioteers. rimski cirkus agitatores družbeni položaj pravni položaj rimske igre šport rimska književnost zgodovina antičnega Rima Roman circus agitatores social status legal status Roman games sports Roman literature history of ancient Rome true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-25 04:02:23 2026-03-09 10:17:01 2026-03-12 11:36:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 33-56 št. 1 Letn. 27 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 94(37) 1580-0261 10.4312/keria.27.1.33-56 269141507 Rok+Ribic.pdf Rok+Ribic.pdf 1 A7B4213EEC7516AD7193724ED3F5514B 0dabf0a5d34fc0f4762541f406e3da4e8553a9dfd62c48d7dca1b5387afb5310 ce65a004-1b98-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229768 https://journals.uni-lj.si/keria/article/view/25801 0 0ace98db-1b99-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229770 Filozofska fakulteta Keria 0 0 0
