- Summary
-
The early religions of Rome have conventionally been seen as conservative and ritualistic, whose observances were kept for reasons of pragmatism rather than inspired by emotion and faith. This view is challenged in this volume with the ten authors deploying a variety of approaches - archaeological, historical, literary, numismatic, epigraphical and anthropological - to present new and important ideas about Roman religion.
