Publisher's Synopsis

""The Ritual Significance of Yellow Among the Romans"" by Francis Marion Dana explores the cultural and religious significance of the color yellow in ancient Rome. Dana delves into the various ways in which the color was used in religious rituals, from its association with the god Apollo to its use in the vestments of the Vestal Virgins. The book also examines the role of yellow in Roman society, including its use in clothing, art, and architecture. Through a combination of historical research and analysis, Dana offers a fascinating look at the ways in which color played a vital role in the lives of the ancient Romans. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Rome, as well as those interested in the symbolism and meaning of color in religious and cultural contexts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
