Abstract

Processions were a key aspect in Greco-Roman religion in order to understand the bond between the individual, the rite and its context, a resource used to reinforce the statu quowithin the members of a given community. Even with the arrival of an unstoppable romanization, the people of Greece continued to practice their own cultural rites as sometimes a form of reassertion of their own identity.We can see a meaningful —although not less ambiguous too—example of the importance of processions in Pausanias’ Periegesis.Pausanias set off on a journey throughout all Greece in an attempt to find the identity of the Greek nation, which he later captured in his books. The description ofprocessions was, as we shall see, one of the many means he used to find an answer to such a question
