Religious individuality is not restricted to modernity. This book
offers a new reading of the ancient sources in order to find
indications for the spectrum of religious practices and intensified
forms of such practices only occasionally denounced as
'superstition'. Authors from Cicero in the first century BC to the
law codes of the fourth century AD share the assumption that
authentic and binding communication between individuals and gods is
possible and widespread, even if problematic in the case of
divination or the confrontation with images of the divine. A change
in practices and assumptions throughout the imperial period becomes
visible. It might be characterised as 'individualisation' and
informed the Roman law of religions. The basic constellation - to
give freedom of religion and to regulate religion at the same time
- resonates even into modern bodies of law and is important for
juridical conflicts today.
