Volume
two reveals the extraordinary diversity of ancient Roman religion. A
comprehensive sourcebook, it presents a wide range of documents
illustrating religious life in the Roman world - from the foundations of
the city in the eighth century BC to the Christian capital more than a
thousand years later. Each document is given a full introduction,
explanatory notes and bibliography, and acts as a starting point for
further discussion. Through paintings, sculptures, coins and
inscriptions, as well as literary texts in translation, the book
explores the major themes and problems of Roman religion, such as
sacrifice, the religious calendar, divination, ritual, and priesthood.
Starting from the archaeological traces of the earliest cults of the
city, it finishes with a series of texts in which Roman authors
themselves reflect on the nature of their own religion, its history,
even its funny side. Judaism and Christianity are given full coverage,
as important elements in the religious world of the Roman empire.
