Thèmes : → Loups sacrés → Rites de fertilité → Cérémonies de purification → Religion romaine antique Contexte historique : Les Lupercales étaient l'une des plus anciennes fêtes religieuses de Rome, célébrée chaque année le 15 février. Les cérémonies se déroulaient près de la grotte du Lupercal, lieu où la tradition situait la louve ayant nourri Romulus et Rémus, les fondateurs légendaires de Rome. Les prêtres appelés Luperci (« Frères du Loup ») accomplissaient des rites de purification et de fertilité en l'honneur de Faunus Lupercus, divinité protectrice des troupeaux et de la nature sauvage. Cette fête demeura pendant des siècles l'un des rituels les plus emblématiques de la Rome antique. 💿 Support & collector editions: → https://noctrarecords.com/ –––––––––––––––––– Part of the NOCTRA universe — independent cinematic music label.
