Abstract
The king Numa received a shield as a gift from Jupiter. The shield acted as a talisman: it was the sign of the alliance between Rome and the god. To hide the talisman, Numa wanted it reproduced in numerous copies by the smith Mamurius Veturius. These shields became the sacred weapons of the Salii. Can a man reproduce, without fault, a sacred object built by a god? Is it lowful to dissolve an identity through its multiplication?
