Upper and lower corner front cover slightly creased. Else fine. ?Religions of Rome? fills a void. We have now at our disposal s synchronic and diachronic historical account of all the religious facts concerning Roma and the Roman world from archaic history to the Christian Empire. The text is distinguished firstly by the fact that it offers a complete history of religions in Toms and in the Roman world. A decision of religion under the Empire is set alongside reflections on the larger questions concerning religious life elsewhere in Italian in the empire?s provinces. The text?s second merit, as indicated by the title, is the scope of the investigation. It offers a history of all religions practised in rome and in the Roman world, Judaism and Christianity included, and not merely of the traditional Roman forms of worship.?
