Synopsis

The early religions of Rome have been the subject of perennial fascination, and considerable study. Roman religion has conveniently 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 book, which reflects the new interest and excitement in studies of Roman religion.
