The gods were the true heroes of Rome. In this major new contribution to our understanding of ancient history, Joerg Rupke guides the reader through the fascinating world of Roman religion, describing its unique characteristics and bringing its peculiarities into stark relief.
Rupke gives a thorough and engaging account of the multiplicity of cults worshipped by peasant and aristocrat alike, the many varied rites and rituals daily observed, and the sacrifices and offerings regularly brought to these immortals by the population of Ancient Rome and its imperial colonies.
This important study provides the perfect introduction to Roman religion for students of Ancient Rome and Classical Civilization.
