• Sommario/riassunto: This text looks at a key religious practice in ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Besides setting forth a typology that applies to many acts of supplication in both Greek and Latin sources, it traces the links between a quasi-legal practice into features of Greek and Roman legal systems.
