This book explores how recent findings and research provide a
richer understanding of religious activities in Republican Rome and
contemporary central Italic societies, including the Etruscans,
during the period of the Middle and Late Republic. While much
recent research has focused on the Romanization of areas outside
Italy in later periods, this volume investigates religious aspects
of the Romanization of the Italian peninsula itself. The essays
strive to integrate literary evidence with archaeological and
epigraphic material as they consider the nexus of religion and
politics in early Italy; the impact of Roman institutions and
practices on Italic society; the reciprocal impact of non-Roman
practices and institutions on Roman custom; and the nature of
'Roman', as opposed to 'Latin', 'Italic', or 'Etruscan', religion
in the period in question. The resulting volume illuminates many
facets of religious praxis in Republican Italy, while at the same
time complicating the categories we use to discuss it.
