I have recently begun looking into the history of magic in pre Constantine Rome. I am curious about examples of armies or individual leaders using a ritual to empower themselves. Specifically looking for examples when this type of invocation was used without it directly relating to a religious practice. Edit for specific era
Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again. Alternatively, you may PM /u/caffarelli to have your question considered for an upcoming Tuesday Trivia thread.
Since this is more of a cultural topic/question, you may find /r/askanthropology a better venue.
