Synopsis
This book is an investigation into the original deities of the Roman army. The author argues that the gods of the Roman legions and auxiliary forces were not, as previously thought, primarily adopted from conquered peoples. Instead, the author finds these gods were chosen from and integrated with the Romans' own religious tradition. The author draws on a wide range of evidence, including inscriptions, archaeological remains, and literary sources, to develop a detailed picture of the role of religion in the Roman military. The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Roman religion and military history. By examining the religious practices of the Roman army, the author sheds new light on the broader social and cultural forces that shaped the development of the Roman Empire.
