Cultus Deorum: The Religious History of the Ancient Romans

By Alex Raponi

This book attempts to tell the story of the religious life of the Romans from the time their story begins for us until the end of Augustus' reign. Each of his five essays deals with a distinct period and is in a sense complete in itself, but the dramatic development inherent in the whole prohibits their separation except as acts or chapters. Despite modern interest in the study of religion, Roman religion has generally been relegated to scholars of ancient history and the classics. This is not surprising as the Roman religion is not seemingly considerate, but although it is at first glance incomparably less attractive than the Greek religion, it is, if understood correctly, just as interesting, if not more so.
