Religion and the Romans (Paperback)

This book provides a short, modern introduction to religion in the Roman world. It deals with the public and the private nature of religion at Rome itself, and looks at the native cults of the Empire. Special reference is given to Gaul, as well as considering how exotic cults such as those of Isis and Mithras were viewed. A fresh look is taken at the conflict of Christianity with the inhabitants and authorities of the Empire--from Nero to Constantine and beyond. This lively and accessible book will prove invaluable to students of the classical world providing a much-needed general survey of Roman religion. As all quotations are given in translation, it will also be useful to those who have no knowledge of ancient languages.
