Segestan Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 In the years 91-89 BC Rome saw a great change. This was the Marsic War or Social war ; a war between the Roman citizens , Latins and Italian colonies. The end result changed Rome forever. In many respects Rome was virtually defeated , though it's new population as Roman tripled. The Italian Confederacy minted coins showing the ' Sebellian Bull goring the Roman Wolf. They must have had alot of new power. I have read many topics on the Sebellian ideas of Divinity this doctrine espousing a One God Deity. Can anyone here add to the knowledge of the Sebellians? Any ideas would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 The Italian Confederacy minted coins showing the ' Sebellian Bull goring the Roman Wolf.... I have read many topics on the Sebellian ideas of Divinity this doctrine espousing a One God Deity. There is no connection between the Sabellian bull and the Sabellian heresy, which was started by a Libyan priest, Sabellius, teaching around 400 years after the end of the Marsic war 'Sabellic' (and cognates) was the name given by Mommsen for the pre-Roman languages of central Italy that were neither Osco nor Umbrian. As Mommsen's linguistic theory has fallen out of favor, the term Sabellic has fallen out of use, and people have generally gone back to talking about Samnites and Sabines rather than Sabelli. Here's the coin in question: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
