After analyzing the sources, the author studied both the specific historical context of the establishment of a new cult, and the connection of the new deity with various hypostases of Venus, which became widespread in the territory of ancient Italy. The author associated the creation of the cult of Venus Erucina, firstly, with victories during the struggle between Rome and Carthage and, secondly, with an attempt to integrate Rome into the cultural space of the Greek world, since Venus was identified with Aphrodite. The scientific novelty of the undertaken study lies in the fact that the author, taking into account the famous senatusconsultum on bacchanalia, put forward a hypothesis about the conduct in 186-184 BC by the Porcii clan and their allies, a kind of religious reform, which made it possible, on the one hand, to preserve the Greek traditions of the veneration of Venus of Eryx, and on the other hand, to “cleanse” the cult of Venus Capitoline from foreign influences.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследование посвящено истокам культа Венеры Эруцинской, чей храм был воздвигнут на Капитолии в годы Ганнибаловой войны. Проанализировав источники, автор изучил как конкретно-исторический контекст утверждения нового культа, так и связь нового божества с различными ипостасями Венеры, получившими распространение на территории древней Италии. Создание культа Венеры Эруцины автор связал, во-первых, с победами в ходе борьбы Рима с Карфагеном и, во-вторых, с попыткой интегрировать Рим в культурное пространство греческого мира, поскольку Венера отождествлялась с Афродитой. Научная новизна предпринятого исследования заключается в том, что автор, приняв во внимание знаменитый сенатусконсульт о вакханалиях, выдвинул гипотезу о проведении в 186-184 гг. до н.э. кланом Порциев и их союзников своего рода религиозной реформы, позволившей, с одной стороны, сохранить греческие традиции почитания Венеры Эруцинской, а с другой - «очистить» культ Венеры Капитолийской от чужеземных влияний.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Venus of Eryx</kwd><kwd>Sicily</kwd><kwd>Roman religion</kwd><kwd>Fabii</kwd><kwd>Cato the Elder</kwd><kwd>bacchanalia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Венера Эруцинская</kwd><kwd>Сицилия</kwd><kwd>римская религия</kwd><kwd>Фабии</kwd><kwd>Катон Старший</kwd><kwd>вакханалии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Gruen ES.
