T\u00e1 na Laren i measc na bhfigi\u00fair\u00ed is saini\u00fala i reiligi\u00fan na R\u00f3imhe. N\u00ed diaga m\u00f3ra iad a raibh miotais chasta acu, ach spioraid choimirce a bh\u00ed ceangailte go dl\u00fath le h\u00e1iteanna cinnte agus le aonaid sh\u00f3isialta.<\/p>

Murab na diaganta m\u00f3ra, is beag miotas forbartha a bh\u00ed ag na Larae. Spioraid fheidhmi\u00fala a bh\u00ed iontu, agus bh\u00ed a dt\u00e1bhacht sa chleachtas, n\u00ed i sc\u00e9alta. Mar sin f\u00e9in, t\u00e1 roinnt sleachta liteartha ann a thugann r\u00e9amhstair d\u00f3ibh.<\/p>

Ins\u00edonn an file Ovid ina shaothar Fasti<\/em> faoin nimf Lara, a chuir Jupiter pion\u00f3s uirthi mar gheall ar a cabaireacht agus a sheol chun an fhoghmoigh \u00ed.<\/p>

I gcoim\u00e9ide Plautus, feictear Lar familiaris<\/em> mar charachtar st\u00e1itse a labhra\u00edonn fi\u00fa. I mbrollach an Aulularia<\/em>, m\u00edn\u00edonn s\u00e9 go bhfuil s\u00e9 ag faire ar an teach agus ar st\u00f3r taisce at\u00e1 i bhfolach ann, agus go dtugann s\u00e9 aire do lucht c\u00f3naithe an t\u00ed, ag brath ar c\u00e9 chomh c\u00faramach a on\u00f3ra\u00edonn siad \u00e9.<\/p>

Bh\u00ed cultas na Larae fite fuaite go domhain sa saol t\u00eds. Gach l\u00e1, d’fh\u00e9adfadh fear an t\u00ed n\u00f3 bean an t\u00ed ofr\u00e1lacha beaga a thabhairt do na Larae, cuid den bh\u00e9ile, t\u00fais, f\u00edon n\u00f3 bl\u00e1thanna.<\/p>

Tugadh aird faoi leith ar na Larae ar na Calends, na Nones agus na Ides gach m\u00ed, agus ag point\u00ed casta i saol an teaghlaigh freisin. Nuair a chaith fear \u00f3g an toga virilis<\/em>, nuair a th\u00e1inig br\u00eddeach isteach sa teach nua, n\u00f3 nuair a d’fhill duine ar ais \u00f3 thuras, bh\u00ed \u00edobairt<\/span> do na Larae mar chuid dhl\u00fath den \u00f3c\u00e1id.<\/p>

Sa sp\u00e1s poibl\u00ed, bh\u00ed na Lares compitales<\/em> ann. Ag crosbheala\u00ed, bh\u00ed scr\u00ednte beaga suite, a raibh a chultas<\/span> \u00e1 iompar ag cumainn comharsanachta. Bh\u00ed f\u00e9ile bhliant\u00fail na Compitalia<\/em> sa gheimhreadh ina f\u00e9ile inaistrithe, a rialaigh an magistr\u00e1t a d\u00e1ta gach bliain.<\/p>

Ar an \u00f3c\u00e1id seo, mais\u00edodh na scr\u00ednte agus rinneadh \u00edobairt\u00ed agus ceili\u00faradh comhchoiteann i measc na gcomharsan. Bh\u00ed t\u00e1bhacht pholaiti\u00fail shuntasach ag na cumainn seo, na collegia compitalicia<\/em>, \u00f3 am go ch\u00e9ile, agus sin an f\u00e1th a chuireadh srianta orthu go minic i ndeireadh na Poblachta.<\/p>

Rinne Augustus athch\u00f3iri\u00fa ar chultas na gcrosbhealach \u00f3 7 R.Ch. i leith. Roinn s\u00e9 an chathair ina ceantair agus chuir s\u00e9 faoi deara na Lares Augusti<\/em> a adhradh ag na crosbheala\u00ed, in \u00e9ineacht lena Genius f\u00e9in.<\/p>

Bh\u00ed an fhreagracht seo ag na vicomagistri<\/em>, a bh\u00ed ina saor\u00e1naigh shaortha go minic, agus mar sin bh\u00ed r\u00f3l reiligi\u00fanda agus s\u00f3isialta acu. Ar an gcaoi sin, ionchorpra\u00edodh cultas an t\u00ed i strucht\u00far reiligi\u00fanda na himpireachta.<\/p>

De r\u00e9ir an traidisi\u00fain<\/span>, t\u00e9ann doimhneacht ama chultas na Larae siar go fada sna tr\u00e9imhs\u00ed luatha. Bh\u00ed an Compitalia ar cheann de na d\u00e1ta\u00ed seasta i bhf\u00e9ilire f\u00e9ilte na Poblachta, ach n\u00edor socra\u00edodh a d\u00e1ta beacht go docht; chinneadh an Praetor n\u00f3 magistr\u00e1t eile \u00e9 gach bliain go luath tar \u00e9is na Saturnalia tr\u00ed fh\u00f3gra.<\/p>

Cheangail an socr\u00fa inaistrithe seo an fh\u00e9ile le deireadh bliain oibre na tuaithe. Luann Cato Sinsearach ina shaothar faoin talmha\u00edocht adhradh na Larae ag an mbainisteoir east\u00e1it agus a bhean, rud a l\u00e9ir\u00edonn go raibh \u00e1it sheasta ag an chultas<\/span> ar an east\u00e1t m\u00f3r tuaithe freisin.<\/p>

Cuireann Dionysios Halicarnassus bun\u00fa na scr\u00ednte ag na crosbheala\u00ed i leith an r\u00ed Servius Tullius, aisch\u00e9imni\u00fa aitiseach a bh\u00ed ceaptha st\u00e1das ard an chultais a threisi\u00fa. I ndeireadh na Poblachta, d\u00edscaoileadh na collegia compitalicia ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile tr\u00ed bhreith an tSeanaid, \u00f3 mheastar iad a bheith ina bpoint\u00ed tion\u00f3il do achrann uirbeach, agus cuireadh srianta orthu ar\u00eds faoi Chaesar.<\/p>

D’iompaigh athch\u00f3iri\u00fa Augustais \u00f3 7 R.Ch. an fhoras a bh\u00ed ionchasach corraitheach seo ina eiseaml\u00e1ir ord\u00fail de riarach\u00e1n uirbeach.

Bh\u00ed cleachtadh na caomhn\u00f3ireachta bunaithe go pr\u00edomha ar aird rialta. De r\u00e9ir tuiscint na R\u00f3imhe, bhf\u00e9adfadh duine a thugadh aire do na Larae bheith muin\u00edneach go bhfaireodh siad ar an teach.

Is ionann na Laren agus cine\u00e1l spioraid coimirceoir\u00ed a bhfuil a macasamhla le f\u00e1il in iliomad cult\u00far. Laistigh de reiligi\u00fan na R\u00f3imhe f\u00e9in t\u00e1 dl\u00fathbhaint acu leis na Penaten, spioraid coimirceoir\u00ed an st\u00f3rais bia, agus leis an Genius, an spiorad coimirceach an fhir t\u00ed.<\/p>

Ba mhinic a adhradh na Penaten agus na Laren le ch\u00e9ile sa scr\u00edn t\u00ed, ach d’fhan siad ar leithligh \u00f3 thaobh coincheapa. Bh\u00ed na Penaten ceangailte go l\u00e1idir le substaint an t\u00ed agus le sol\u00e1thairt\u00ed bia, agus na Laren leis an \u00e1it f\u00e9in agus leis an bpobal.<\/p>

Is sa smaointeoireacht faoi dh\u00e9ithe t\u00ed agus spioraid choimirceoir\u00ed is fearr a aims\u00edtear cos\u00falacht Ghr\u00e9agach, mar shampla san agathos daimon<\/em>, an spiorad<\/span> maith a l\u00e9ir\u00edt\u00ed i gcomhth\u00e9acsanna Gr\u00e9agacha \u00e1irithe mar nathair agus a adhra\u00edt\u00ed ar mhaithe le leas an t\u00ed.<\/p>

N\u00ed ann do chomhionann\u00fa d\u00edreach, \u00e1fach. Feinim\u00e9an sonrach R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach iad na Laren, a bhfuil tionchar an-d\u00f3cha \u00f3 smaointe Etruscach le sonr\u00fa orthu freisin.<\/p>

\u00d3 thaobh na scol\u00e1ireachta, baineann na Laren leis an r\u00e9imse leathan de spioraid t\u00ed agus \u00e1ite, r\u00e9imse a sh\u00edneann \u00f3 dh\u00e9ithe t\u00ed cult\u00far \u00e9ags\u00fail go spioraid sinsear agus tairseacha.<\/p>

Is \u00e9 an rud at\u00e1 i gcoiteann idir na figi\u00fair\u00ed seo nach pl\u00e9ann siad na ceisteanna cosma\u00ed m\u00f3ra, ach go gcosna\u00edonn siad an sp\u00e1s beo c\u00f3ngarach. Is sampla deighilte go maith iad na Laren ar an \u00e1bhar sin, \u00f3 tharla go l\u00e9ir\u00edonn an traidisi\u00fan<\/span> seand\u00e1la\u00edocht\u00fail den saol R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach an chr\u00e1ifeacht<\/span> t\u00ed ar bhealach beoga.<\/p>

Bh\u00ed r\u00f3l ar leith ag na Laren maidir le taisteal thar teorainneacha. N\u00ed hamh\u00e1in go raibh Lares familiares agus compitales ann, ach freisin Lares viales mar spioraid coimirceoir\u00ed na mb\u00f3ithre, Lares permarini do na beala\u00ed muir\u00ed, agus Lares praestites, a mheasadh a bheith mar chaomhn\u00f3ir\u00ed ar an chathair ioml\u00e1n agus a raibh tearmann<\/span> d\u00e1 gcuid f\u00e9in acu.<\/p>

L\u00e9ir\u00edonn an \u00e9ags\u00falacht seo go bhf\u00e9adfa\u00ed coincheap na Laren a chur i bhfeidhm i gc\u00e1s ar bith ina raibh g\u00e1 sp\u00e1s n\u00f3 bealach a chur faoi choimirce. Luann Ovid sna Fasti teampall<\/span> \u00e1rsa de chuid na Lares praestites ar an tSacra Via, a raibh \u00edomh\u00e1 ann de dh\u00e1 fhigi\u00far le madra, agus l\u00e9ir\u00edt\u00ed an madra mar shiombail<\/span> na faireachais.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sa scol\u00e1ireacht nua-aimseartha, is \u00e1bhar m\u00f3rch\u00f3ir iad na Laren, go pr\u00edomha mar go dtugann siad l\u00e9argas ar an reiligi\u00fan beo laistigh de bheatha laeth\u00fail, i bhfad \u00f3 na cultanna m\u00f3ra st\u00e1it. Phl\u00e9igh Georg Wissowa iad cheana f\u00e9in ina chur i l\u00e1thair ar reiligi\u00fan na R\u00f3imhe, agus th\u00f3g Kurt Latte an cheist faoina bhun\u00fas.<\/p>

L\u00e9irmh\u00edn\u00edonn l\u00edne n\u00edos sine den scol\u00e1ireacht na Laren mar shinsir dhiaga, agus cuireann l\u00edne n\u00edos nua\u00ed, arna moladh ag John Scheid i measc daoine eile, b\u00e9im n\u00edos m\u00f3 ar a gcarachtar mar spioraid \u00e1ite.<\/p>

L\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00e9 go raibh scr\u00edn Larach ag beagnach gach teach, beag beann ar an saibhreas, agus tugann s\u00e9 l\u00e9argas soil\u00e9ir ar an nasc idir Lar, Genius agus nathair.<\/p>

T\u00e1 cultas na compit\u00e1l faoi Augustus deimhnithe go maith freisin tr\u00ed inscr\u00edbhinn\u00ed agus faoisimh, agus meastar \u00e9 mar shampla ceannr\u00f3da\u00edoch de chomhth\u00e1th\u00fa reiligi\u00fan an phobail leis an ord impiri\u00fail.<\/p>

Sa chult\u00far coitianta inniu, n\u00edl na Laren chomh c\u00e1ili\u00fail leis na d\u00e9ithe m\u00f3ra, ach feictear iad go rialta i l\u00e9irithe den saol laeth\u00fail R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach, mar shampla i m\u00fasaeim, san oideachas stairi\u00fail agus i leabhair choitianta faoin R\u00f3imh \u00e1rsa<\/span>.<\/p>
