''lararia'') is the sacred place of the home where [[Household Worship|offerings and prayers are made to the Gods]].<br /> <br /> ==Making a ''Lararium''==<br /> <br /> The easiest way to set up a ''[[lararium]]'' is to reserve a small one-tier wall shelf, or a table or cabinet as an altar. A trip to a hardware store, a department store or an antique shop will usually yield something workable. A ''lararium'' may be decorated to taste in classical style if one wishes, but it need not be any special style or color. <br /> <br /> One doesn't really need a lot of surface space. A square foot of space or so is about the average, as long as there is room for a candle, incense, and an offering dish. Space for statuary or wall space to hang pictures on is nice but not critical. <br /> <br /> It is well if one can place the ''lararium'' in a front room or near the kitchen area as was done in antiquity, but this is not essential. The important thing is that the ''lararium'' be placed somewhere that isn't so remote that it will be ignored or forgotten, or in a place so obtrusive it gets bumped into and knocked about during the course of the day. <br /> <br /> The ''lararium'' should be kept clean. The ''[[acerra]]'', the ''[[salinum]]'' and the ''[[gutus]]'' can be stored near or under your ''lararium'' depending on it's design, and need only be present before the gods during the rites.<br /> <br /> ==Examples==<br /> <br /> The popular ''lararium'' plaque seen in several Nova Roma ''lararia'' is available from our friends at [[Sacred Source]].<br /> <br /> Click on an image to see it at full size.<br /> &lt;onlyinclude&gt;&lt;gallery caption=&quot;Lararia&quot; widths=&quot;150px&quot; heights=&quot;150px&quot; &gt;<br /> <br /> Image:MOG_Lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Marcus Octavius Gracchus (Nova Roma)|Marcus Octavius Gracchus]] <br /> <br /> Image:M-Hortensia-Maior-lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Marca Hortensia Maior (Nova Roma)|Marca Hortensia Maior]]<br /> <br /> Image:Violentilla-Galeria-Saltatrix-lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Violentilla Galeria Saltatrix (Nova Roma)|Violentilla Galeria Saltatrix]]<br /> <br /> Image:Julilla-lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Julilla Sempronia Magna (Nova Roma)|Julilla Sempronia Magna]]<br /> <br /> Image:Conutus_6797.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Lucius Cassius Cornutus (Nova Roma)|Lucius Cassius Cornutus]]<br /> <br /> Image:AMM_Lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Annia Minucia Marcella (Nova Roma)|Annia Minucia Marcella]]<br /> <br /> Image:Cato's Lararium.jpg|''Lararium'' of [[Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato (Nova Roma)|Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- ADD YOUR IMAGE ABOVE THIS LINE, USING THE PATTERN ABOVE.
