Immaturi et innupti

Book Details

Se presentan en este trabajo 56 terracotas figuradas, procedentes todas ellas de las necrópolis cordubenses, que son estudiadas con relación al resto de Hispania y de las provincias septentrionales y occidentales del Imperio, en las que proliferan. . Estas figurillas de terracota debieron ser extraordinariamente abundantes en la sociedad romana, que encontraría en ellas una forma polisémica de expresar sentimientos diversos relacionados con la religión privada, la expiación de culpas personales ante la divinidad, la petición de prebendas, dones o sanaciones ante esos mismos dioses, la amistad y las relaciones familiares, con especial relación al mundo de la infancia, cuyo estado social simbolizarían.. Al incorporarlas a los ajuares funerarios infantiles, estas figurillas de terracota se convertían en símbolo social de ruptura, de una vida truncada en pleno florecer, todavía en el estado físico y social de infantia o pueritia. . Simbolizarían una vida rota y también su pureza. . Tales niños y niñas no habían llegado a superar la edad de jugar con figlina, falleciendo de forma prematura, immaturi et innupti (Tertuliano, De anima, 56). . Y así se entendería que en algún caso estos objetos aparezcan también en tumbas de adultos, sobre todo de nuevo mujeres. En sus ajuares los bustos de terracota, como las muñecas, serían por tanto símbolos sociales perfectamente inteligibles para todos de “bodas no alcanzadas” y, por extensión, de virginidad o de doncellez. ....IMMATURI ET INNUPTI..FUNERARY FIGURED TERRACOTTE FROM CORDUBA, COLINIA PATRICIA..56 figured terracotte coming from necropolis in Corduba are studied in relation to others from the rest of Hispania and the northern provinces where they are prolific..These figurines must have been extraordinarily common in Roman society where they would have represented a polysemous way of expressing various feelings related to private religion, expiation of personal sins before the divinity, request of prebends, gifts or sanations before the same gods, friendship and family relationships, with special relation to childhood whose social status they would represent..Once these figurines were included as child funerary goods, they would turn into a social symbol of rupture of a life cut short, still in its physical and social condition of infantia or pueritia..They would simbolize a truncated life and also its purity..These boys and girls had not reached the age of playing with figlina, dying prematurely, immaturi et innupti (Tertuliano, De anima, 56)..In some cases these objects also appear in adult graves, specially those of women. Terracotta busts, as with dolls, would have meant social symbols perfectly understandable for all as “not achieved weddings” and, by extent, as virginity or maidenhood.
