Instauratio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instauratio is an Ancient Roman term referring to the redoing of a ceremony or ritual that has gone awry in some fashion, no matter how minorly. The Romans were extremely legalistic and any slip-up in ceremony could offend some deity or cause the deity to ignore the ceremony completely.
