Magia y brujería en el Mundo Antiguo analyses magic and witchcraft in its different aspects and forms in the ancient world from an international and multidisciplinary perspective. Case studies come from Egypt, the Greek and Roman world and from Late Antiquity, and even cover the reception of ancient magic in the modern world. From an archaeological perspective, contributions study magic through everyday objects, focusing on the Iberian period and on the Roman period in the colony of Clunia Sulpicia. A further chapter investigates how magic transforms the landscape. On the other hand, disciplines such as history and philology are employed to explore specific examples of the use of magic and its evolution in different periods from Egyptian times to Late Antiquity. Overall the volume demonstrates how magic is present, adapts and is reshaped over the centuries, while maintaining its basic formulas, structures, acts and words with the aim of transforming reality.
