Resumen: Parte de la vida social de los muertos en el mundo antiguo estaba relacionada con la esfera de la magia agresiva, en la que los difuntos llegados al más allá de forma prematura y/o violenta, servían como asistentes mágicos en una de las praxis más difundidas de la antigüedad, la de las defixiones. Objetivo fundamental de este artículo es analizar las imprecaciones procedentes de contexto necropolitano para determinar cuándo y en qué áreas del Occidente del Imperio Romano se localizan las piezas, e intentar definir qué denominadores comunes las vinculan. PALABRAS CLAVE: Magia antigua, defixiones latinas, aôroi, muertos molestos.
Deads’s social life was -at least partially- related in the Ancient World with the sphere of the aggressive Magic, in which untimely and/or violent deads served as magical assistants in one of the best known praxis in Antiquity: defixiones. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze curse tablets founded in necropolis, trying not just to determinate when and in which areas of the Western part of the Roman Empire are they located, but also to show common factors between them.
