Inhaltsangabe

Tracing the evolution of Roman religious thought, this concise study explores how early Romans worshipped abstract, animistic forces before absorbing deities from Greece, the Near East, and beyond. From the austere rites associated with Numa Pompilius to the political and cultural shifts under Augustus, the book examines how external influences and internal reforms shaped the Roman pantheon. It highlights the role of the Sibylline texts in introducing foreign cults and charts the transition from traditional worship to the imperial cult of the deified emperors. Offering a clear, chronological account, this work reveals how religion was both a reflection of Rome's expanding empire and a tool for consolidating power. A compelling overview of Rome's spiritual landscape, it sheds light on the deep connections between belief, identity, and imperial ambition.
