Opis

Early Roman religions have conventionally been seen as conservative and ritualistic, where observances were kept for reasons of pragmatism rather than inspired by emotion or faith. This volume challenges this view. The authors deploy a variety of approaches to examine the topic, including archaeological, historical, literary, numismatic, epigraphical and anthropological.
