Synopsis

The Religion of Numa and Other Essays on the Religion of Ancient Rome is a book written by Jesse Benedict Carter. The book is a comprehensive study of the religious practices of ancient Rome, with a particular focus on the reign of King Numa Pompilius, who was known for his piety and religious reforms. The book is divided into several essays, each of which explores a different aspect of Roman religion, including the role of the gods, the importance of sacrifice, and the significance of the Roman calendar. Carter draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of Roman religious practices. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Rome or the development of religious beliefs and practices in the Western world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
