Abstract
Note on the Theme of the Triple Siege : The Capitol, Narbonne, and Glogow
In "Mythe et pope" vol 3, "Histoires romaines", Georges Dumzil showed that Roman historians treat the siege of the Capitol
by the Gauls in 390 B.C. as a series of three episodes : (1) C. Fabius Dorso miraculously crosses the Gallic lines and makes his
annual offering on the Quirinal Hill ; (2) the enemy's night attack is repelled ; (3) the Romans devise a stratagem in which pieces
of bread are dropped on the besieging army by the famished defenders of the Capitol. Each of these events has a symbolic
character and serves to prove Roman superiority over the enemy from the religious, military, and economic points of view, that is,
with respect to each of the three basic functions. J. H. Grisward also finds the theme of the triple siege in Andrea da Barberino's
epic Nerbonesi (ca. 1410). It was also used ca. 1117 by the chronicler Gallus Anonymus in describing the emperor Henry V's
attempts to capture Glogow, a fortified Polish town on the Oder. As an instrument for organizing empirical reality into an idealized
form, the model of the three functions seems to have produced the literary theme of the triple siege.
