Research Help wanted.....Ancient Rome
a friend of mine is trying to find some obscure reference material..
i went:
Obscure reference material? wow i bet my flist has it on the bedside reading pile...
she said :
"oh, probably not.. the sources i want would originally be ancient Roman.."
and i said
"bring it ON girlfriend"
well not really, but it sounds cooler that way.
NEED SOURCES:
depictions of sorcerers in Latin literature and what people thought a magician was capable of. I'm trying to argue that the 'werewolf' in the Satyricon is actually a sorcerer.
Ancient Rome, early empire is best - the 'Satyricon' was written in the time of Nero, so late first century BC, first century AD. English is preferable, German will do.
so allmighty friends list. especially historians and librarians. can you help her out?
