WHAT DOES IMAGINES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

imagines

Roman funerals and burial

Ancient Roman funerary practices were part of the mos maiorum, "the way of the ancestors" or "tradition," and drew on the beliefs embodied in Roman public and domestic religion. Socially, funerals were a central and highly visible means of preserving the heritage of a family and gens. The achievements of ancestors were celebrated alongside those of the deceased. The funeral procession was public and elaborate, led by professional mourners, including actors who wore the portrait masks of the dead person's notable ancestors. The corpse was carried behind the mourners. A eulogy , instrumental music, and songs of mourning were also part of the ceremonies. After the funeral, the body was most often cremated in the Classical period, though in some periods inhumation was practiced, becoming more common from the 2nd century AD onward. The ashes were placed in a container and entombed. Roman cemeteries were located outside the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the city. They were visited regularly with offerings of food and wine, and special observances during religious festivals in honor of the dead.

10 QUOTES WITH «IMAGINES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word imagines.
1
James A. Baldwin
Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.
2
Mark Barrowcliffe
Younger women are willing to go out with high status males. If you look at the kind of women Salman Rushdie attracts, they tend to be intelligent, arty types. For her, it's a kudos thing. The man just wants a good-looking girl because he imagines that when his friends see him, they'll all think, 'Gosh I wish I was him.'
3
Vanna Bonta
The song 'What Goes Up' was inspired as I was playing the piano and reminiscing about the Spaceship One launches I witnessed in the Mojave desert. It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized.
4
Paul Brunton
Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.
5
Terry Eagleton
Universities are no longer educational in any sense of the word that Rousseau would have recognised. Instead, they have become unabashed instruments of capital. Confronted with this squalid betrayal, one imagines he would have felt sick and oppressed.
6
Jacob Epstein
The artist who imagines that he puts his best into a portrait in order to produce something good, which will be a pleasure to the sitter and to himself, will have some bitter experiences.
7
George Orwell
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

Devdutt Pattanaik
Mythology is a subjective truth. Every culture imagines life a certain way.

Mary Wesley
Imagination which comes into play in falling in love is different from any other. Certainly in my case, and I've fallen in love all my life, one imagines the person to be as you want them to be. They frequently turn out to be someone different, for better or worse.
10
Anna Wintour
Because of reality television and all these celebrities thinking they can be designers, everyone imagines that they can just become a designer, photographer, or model, but that's not the way things work. People have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand - that's the right, healthy way to do things.
