Is Fragmenta available on Android?

Not yet. Fragmenta is iOS only for now (iPhone, iOS 17+). An Android version is in the works. You can join the waitlist on our website to get notified when it launches.

How is Fragmenta different from a history podcast or course?

Fragmenta isn't a course with modules, and it's not a podcast that needs forty-five minutes of your attention. It's a daily ritual. A curated pack of self-contained micro-stories you swipe through in under three minutes. No prerequisites, no homework.

3 aprile: i sacerdoti di Roma si battono il petto—oggi è il Giorno del Sangue.

Il Giorno del Sangue.

Il 3 aprile, il culto di Cibele raggiungeva il culmine: i sacerdoti—i Galli—si flagellavano fino a sanguinare. Alcuni, secondo le fonti antiche, arrivavano persino alla castrazione rituale.

Una fede straniera inquieta Roma.

I romani assistevano con un misto di fascino e disagio. Il rituale voleva imitare la violenza e la rinascita del dio Attis, confondendo il confine tra dolore e devozione.

Il rituale più oscuro dei Megalesia vedeva i sacerdoti di Cibele versare sangue in estasi—uno spettacolo che scioccava e affascinava i romani.
