Reconstruction of a roman household shrine

Description

Rekonstrukcija rimskog kućnog svetilišta ili lararijuma sa tri bronzane figurice. Svetilište je nazvano tako po larima, jer su lari i penati predstavljali grupe božanstava koje su štitile porodicu i kućno ognjište. "Lar Familiaris" je bio utemeljitelj porodice i na čelu grupe duhova. U kućnim svetilištima su se držale njihove i figurice drugih božanstava i na taj način je religija mogla da bude svakodnevni deo života pojedinih Rimljana. A reconstruction of a Roman household shrine or lararium with three bronze figurines. The shrine was called so because of the Lares, since they, alongside with the Penates, represented the groups of deities which protected the family and the household. "Lar Familiaris" was the founder of the family and the head of the group of the spirit protectors. Their figurines, as well as, those of other deities were kept in the household shrines and in that way religion could have been a part of every-day life of some Romans.
