ThesCRA is a major multivolume reference on all known aspects of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman cults and rituals, covering the period from 1000 B.C to A.D. 400.

Fifty-five authors discuss various life stages (birth, adolescence, marriage, and death), health, sustenance (agriculture, commerce, hunting, and fishing), craft production, economics, travel, public and private life, guilds, priesthoods, priestly colleges and other institutions, law, diplomacy, war, festivals, and religious links to neighboring societies. Volume VIII, to be published in spring 2012, and an index, scheduled for spring 2014, will completethis unique research tool.
