- W2484793808 abstract "Writing of ‘unspeakable histories’, Odai Johnson calls attention to Greco-Roman ‘curse tablets’ known to archaeologists as defixiones.1 These have been described as ‘inscribed pieces of lead, usually in the form of small, thin sheets, intended to influence, by supernatural means, the actions or welfare of persons of animals against their will’.2 Popular around the Mediterranean from the fifth century BCE to the sixth century CE, the sheets are usually found rolled up and transfixed with nails (hence the name) in places of chthonic resonance: graves and tombs; the bottoms of wells and in caves and temples, often with skulls, bones, or items of black magic.3 The curses are formulaic appeals to dark powers to punish a specific individual motivated by revenge or to prevent a future action. Many were authored by slaves: Malcius, belonging to Nicona: [his] eyes, hands, fingers, arms, nails, hair, head, feet, thigh, belly, buttocks, navel, chest, nipples, neck, mouth, cheeks, teeth, lips, chin, eyes, forehead, eyebrows, shoulder blades, shoulders, sinews, bones, merilas [?], belly, penis, shin: in these tablets I bind his income, profit, and health.4" @default.
