In the Roman Empire, ''Fortuna Redux'' was a form of the goddess Fortuna who oversaw a return, as from a long or perilous journey. Her attributes were Fortuna's typical cornucopia, with her specific function represented by a rudder or steering oar sometimes in conjunction with a globe.〔Carlos F. Noreña, ''Imperial Ideals in the Roman West: Representation, Circulation, Power'' (Cambridge University Press, 2011), p. 140; Lawrence Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992), p. 157.〕 The cult of Fortuna Redux was introduced to Roman religion in 19 BC, creating a new holiday ''(feriae)'' on October 12 that originally marked the return of Augustus to Rome from Asia Minor in 19 BC. From that time, she received annual sacrifices from the pontiffs and Vestals at an altar dedicated to her ''(Ara Fortunae Reducis)''. After the death of Augustus, the holiday was known as the Augustalia, and was a major development in the complex of religious observances involving Imperial cult.〔John Scheid, "To Honour the ''Princeps'' and Venerate the Gods: Public Cult, Neighbourhood Cults, and Imperial Cult in Augustan Rome," translated by Jonathan Edmondson, in ''Augustus'' (Edinburgh University Press, 2009), p. 288, and "Augustus and Roman Religion: Continuity, Conservatism, and Innovation," in ''The Cambridge Companion to Augustus'' (Cambridge University Press, 2005), p. 190.〕 The altar of Fortuna Redux was inaugurated on October 12, and dedicated on December 15.〔Scheid, "To Honour the ''Princeps''," pp. 288–289.〕 It was probably adjacent to the Temple of Honor and Virtue near the Porta Capena.〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 157.〕 The altar is pictured on several coins, and appears to have been "relatively modest".〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 157.〕 Domitian built a temple for the goddess, following a triumphal return from war in Germany in 93 AD.〔Martial 8.65; Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 157.〕 The temple most likely stood on the slope of the Capitoline Hill overlooking the Porta Triumphalis. It has been identified with a temple on a panel depicting an arrival ceremony ''(adventus)'' on the Arch of Marcus Aurelius. The pictured temple has symbols of Fortuna in the pediment, and a tetrastyle and prostyle design of the Corinthian order. There is some possibility that it is the tetrastyle temple on a fragment of the Severan Marble Plan.〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 157.〕 Coins indicate that the cult statue was standing, and held the rudder and cornucopia that are her usual attributes.〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary,'' p. 157.〕 Fortuna Redux was widely disseminated in the Western Empire as the tutelary of the emperor's safe return to the city when he traveled abroad, an event that reaffirmed Rome as the center of the Imperial world.〔Noreña, ''Imperial Ideals in the Roman West,'' pp. 138, 140.〕 In Cirta, Numidia, an inscription preserved a dedication to ''Fortuna Redux Augusta'' by a local official, with the epithet ''Augusta'' marking the goddess's relation to Imperial cult.〔''CIL'' 8.6944; Noreña, ''Imperial Ideals in the Roman West,'' p. 261.〕 She was the most common manifestation of Fortuna depicted on Imperial coins.〔Noreña, ''Imperial Ideals in the Roman West,'' p. 140.〕 In 211 AD, for instance, coinage with Fortuna Redux commemorated the return of Caracalla and Geta from Britannia.〔Erika Manders, ''Coining Images of Power: Patterns in the Representation of Roman Emperors on Imperial Coinage, A.D. 193–284'' (Brill, 2012), p. 249.〕 She also appears on coins issued by Septimius Severus〔Noreña, ''Imperial Ideals in the Roman West,'' p. 140.〕 Gallienus, and other emperors.〔Manders, ''Coining Images of Power,'' p. 301.〕 Although her cult was established as part of state religion in Rome, the goddess received personal devotion from individuals elsewhere in the Empire, as indicated by inscriptions in fulfillment of a vow ''(votum)'' expressing gratitude for a safe return. An inscription from Glanum records a votive altar dedicated by a military veteran of the Legio XXI Rapax for Fortuna Redux along with the Celtic deities Glanis and the ''Glanicae''.〔''AE'' 1954, 0103; see also 1959, 0009.〕 A form of Jupiter was also cultivated with the epithet ''Redux''.〔Robert E.A. Palmer, "Silvanus, Sylvester, and the Chair of St. Peter," ''Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society'' 122 (1978), p. 234.〕 The rudder and cornucopia appear as attributes likewise of the syncretized Isis-Fortuna. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fortuna Redux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
