From this place it would appear that, contrary to the practice in regard to other gods of the Lower World, the person invoking him had to be girt and have a steel weapon in the belt. Larvae were the ghosts of dead people which were unable to rest either on account of their own guilt (Apul., " de deo Soc"; Isid., " Orig.," viii, 11, loi), or from having met with some indignity, such as a violent death (Apul., " Met.," ix, 29; this tragedy, v, 400, 474; Ov., "Ibis,"' 155-160). They acted as agent...s to do injury to the living. They, too, were the " devils " that were supposed to cause madness in the living by taking "possession" of them (Plaut., "Capt.," iii, 4, 66; " Amph.,"ii, 2, 145). Lemureswere similar spectres. " They call the spirits of the silent ones Lemures " (Ov., " Fasti," V, 483). They also took possession of houses which were thus "haunted." See Pliny, "Epist.," vii, 27. Ovid (" Fasti," V, 429) gives a formula for exorcising them. The ancient Romans conceived of ghosts as black (Pers., v, 185), whereas the moderns imagine them white.
