AbstractThis article explores the religious importance of Cicero's De Haruspicum Responso against the background of prodigy-handling in Republican Rome. Comparing the prodigy in question to an ‘auditory epiphany’, it argues that key issues raised by the speech include the nature of the divine voice, the relationship of the prodigious ‘rumbling and clattering’ to the gods themselves, and the ambiguous temporalities implied by Roman practices of divination. The article also suggests that De Haruspicum Responso proposes a significant overlap between religious and political speech, and it questions the radical split often assumed between the religious ideology of Cicero's philosophical and his more ‘public’ works.

This chapter focuses on the mid-winter festival of Compitalia, the most important celebration of the lares compitales at their crossroads shrines, whether in town or on the farm. The rituals and practices used for their annual festival at the crossroads shrines provide vivid glimpses of what was a high point in the year for many ordinary people, including especially slaves and freedmen. The chapter has three related themes that are explored in some detail. These include the annual festival itself, the relationship of the compital shrines to their local administrative structure(s), and the practice of local politics in a compital context in republican Rome.

The Birth of Law No. 23/2011 marks a new era of transformation of the national charity which has given rise to a new paradigm of charity management in our country. Some rules are the result of constitutive ijtihadin the ?eld of charity gets a reaction from some quarters, especially related to the management of charity by the state authority. Regardless of the debate which led to the material and formal lawsuit, there are several key issues to be further analyzed in relation to the reconstruction of ?qh paradigm evaluated from the perspective of contemporary Islamic law. First, the authorities and the involvement of the state as charities through the agency or institution that is of?cially established or recognized by the state, so that the management of charity can be done effectively, guaranteed. And have legal certainty. Secondly, the absence of sanctions for muzaki who shirk the obligation of charity in Law No.23 / 2011 shows that the payment of charity is voluntary, therefore charity regulations in Indonesia are still considered weak in the legal framework that can bind to the individual or business entity that is exposed to the taxpayer , Third, the reform paradigm of subject, object and charity tas{arruf ?eld have already accommodated in Law No.23 / 2011 in accordance with the principle of mas}lah}atand justice. Fourth, the relationship of charity and tax reaf?rmed in the amendment of new Law charity as?scal incentives for charity payers to make charity as a reduction of PKP (tax deduction), although this provision has not been able to realize the position of charitywhich is more signi?cant as a tax deduction(tax credit).

This chapter considers what classical antiquity understood the voice to be, as well as how that understanding has influenced subsequent Western thought. The chapter begins with discussion of song, a term that antiquity applied to written poetry as well as to song proper. It then turns to more general questions about how the Greeks and Romans theorized the relationship of the voice to language. After explaining some of the principal terms for “voice” in both Greek and Latin, the author reviews the vocal theories of various schools of ancient philosophy. He then considers the role of the voice in oratory and the special problems generated by the growing circulation of speeches in written form. He turns finally to a celebrated if perhaps apocryphal vocal performance by a pantomime in Rome in order to consider the tension between the particular voice of an individual and the more generic vocality of antiquity itself

From the days of Plato’s Academy, academic life and discourse have operated in tension with political life, and often the political life of democracy. Since World War II, this tension has been read as essentially antagonistic. In this survey of the relationship of the original and subsequent incarnations of the Academy to ancient Athens, republican Rome, and the Florentine city-state, it becomes clear that the tension was, in fact, potentially as much of an asset to democracy as an assault upon it—even as the tension forever remained real. Readings of Plato and versions of the Academy become antagonistic to civic life only when their intellectual posture takes refuge in metaphysical doctrines or political ideologies that bear only marginal connections to the effective argument of Plato’s dialogues or the initial political postures of Academic life.

The historiography of the Philippine City Beautiful recurrently centers on one date, 1905; two cities, Manila and Baguio; and one urban planner, Daniel Burnham. The colonial civil service's Filipinization of city planning after 1916 remains an unexplored facet of planning history. This article explores the planning practices of the Bureau of Public Works' Division of Architecture, which from 1919 was headed by Filipinos, and the relationship of these efforts to the City Beautiful, given the power mediation between the Americans and Filipinos in the run-up to the creation of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935.

One of the key issues of modern procedural and legal science is the issue of dividing legal proceedings into types and the relationship of these types with each other. The severity of this issue is explained by the discrepancy between the constitutionally enshrined list of types of legal proceedings and the set of procedural codes. The article discusses approaches to differentiating the types of legal proceedings, developed a criterion for distinguishing between the types of legal proceedings, and also indicates the grounds and limits of the unity and differentiation of the types of legal proceedings.
