This book offers a radical new survey of more than a thousand years of religious life at Rome. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the eighth century BC and the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the first centuries of the Christian era. The narrative account is structured around a series of broad themes: how to interpret the Romans' own theories of their religious system and its origins; the relationship of religion and the changing politics of Rome; the religious importance of the layout and monuments of the city itself; changing ideas of religious identity and community; religious innovation - and, ultimately, revolution. The companion volume, Religions of Rome: A Sourcebook, sets out a wide range of documents richly illustrating the religious life in the Roman world.

Uma excelente obra clássica para o estudo da religião em Roma. Mereceria uma tradução portuguesa

As with most of Mary Beard's work, the classics professional will always learn something, but the educated lay person will find entire new worlds opened. She avoids the excessive, unnecessary jargon so often found in books in this field. I would read anything she writes. If you aren't sure, look up some of the many videos she has made. The internet is full!

Very erudite and yet accessible book; has been said to be the natural successor to Wissowa. Interesting and useful, too.
