20.500.12556/RUL-180422 Šport v rimski Sloveniji Sports in ancient Slovenia Rimski športni dogodki so bili v svojem začetku povezani z religijo in zagrobnimi ritu-ali. Dirke so kot najstarejši šport pomagale pri dobri letini, gladiatorski boji pa so se odvijali v zagrobnih kontekstih. Igre so kaj hitro prerasle v spektakle, ki so privabljali večdesettisočglave množice. Za takšne uprizoritve, ki nemalo spominjajo na današnje športne prireditve, je bila v prvi vrsti potrebna dobra infrastruktura. Dirkališča in arene so bili znak prestiža mesta, hkrati pa nujni za izpolnitev vsaj polovice obljube »kruha in iger«. Športniki, ki so na takšnih prireditvah nastopali, so navadno izhajali iz nižjih slo-jev, tudi sužnjev in obsojencev, kar pa ni ustavilo profesionalizacije športnikov. Ustanove, v katerih so se šolali gladiatorji in dirkalne ekipe, so delovale kot profesionalni športni klubi. K temu je priteklo tudi prodajanje predmetov z motiviko športnikov, ki so jih lahko gledalci kupili in odnesli domov. Drobni predmeti iz Slovenije kažejo, da so tudi na naših tleh živeli navijači, ki so verjetno spremljali igre vsaj v Petovioni in Emoni. Za slednjo lahko s precej veliko verjetnostjo predvidevamo, da je bila tudi dom gladiatorske šole. Roman sports originated as religious and mortuary rituals. Chariot races, potentially the oldest discipline, were held to ensure bountiful harvests, while gladiatorial contests were part of funerary festivals. These games soon grew into spectacles attracting tens of thousands of spectators, not unlike modern sports events. Organising games of such scale and scope required a well-developed infrastructure. For towns, having circuses and arenas meant high prestige, additionally enabling them to fulfil one half of the promise of panem et circenses. The competitors mostly came from the lower classes, including slaves and criminals, but this did not prevent professionalisation. The organisations that trained gladiators and racing teams functioned much like professional sports clubs. This included selling a wide variety of sports-themed memorabilia to spectators and fans, of which there must have been some in Roman Slovenia as well, judging from small finds. They would have been familiar at least with the games of Poetovio and Emona. The latter town probably housed a gladiatorial school as well. šport antika rimska arheologija klasične študije Slovenija sports Antiquity Roman archaeology Classical studies true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-09 11:32:34 2026-03-09 11:32:42 2026-03-12 11:34:56 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 57-79 št. 1 Letn. 27 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-02 94(37) 1580-0261 10.4312/keria.27.1.57-79 269330947 RAZ_Stemberger_Flegar_Kaja_2025.pdf RAZ_Stemberger_Flegar_Kaja_2025.pdf 1 F6BF7DEEACEC6A608DC774801C804A0E fb560c80acabbc800f222bb3bb3a39e39ea8b81cf7a512960043d4d5c9258668 23db79c1-1ba3-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229791 https://journals.uni-lj.si/keria/article/view/25802 0 2fb15a21-1ba3-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229792 Filozofska fakulteta Keria 0 0 0
