The aim, inspired by the \u2018material turn\u2019, was to collect all relevant archaeological data concerning magical practice in the Latin-speaking Roman Empire in a digital data-base. Part One of this volume is mainly devoted to a selection of this material, that is, self-authored written texts (\u2018vernacular curse tablets\u2019), mainly in non-standard Latin, found in the Latin-speaking western Empire, excluding North Africa. The notion of context is understood in a variety of ways, focusing on individual agency in difficult or conflict-ridden situations: where did the principals who wrote these texts choose to deposit them? Can we say anything about what may have influenced them in making such choices? Are there significant differences between locations chosen for different types of curse? Other contributions in this section approach the notion of context from a social point of view, and in terms of conceptions of the body. Part Two focuses on the techniques, especially images, used to enhance the authority of specifically literate magical texts on a metal base in the very different Graeco-Egyptian tradition, including protective amulets.
