Résumé

The Roman Gods: Religion and Rituals in the Roman Empire by Philip Davies explores the rich and complex religious landscape of ancient Rome, examining the gods, goddesses, and rituals that defined Roman religious practice from the founding of the city to the rise of Christianity. The book delves into the pantheon of Roman deities, the integration of foreign gods, and the importance of religious rites in both public and private life.
Through an in-depth analysis of festivals, temples, and the role of religion in political power, Davies sheds light on how the Romans understood their gods and how religious practices helped maintain the stability and prosperity of the empire. The narrative also explores the tension between Roman state religion and the rise of new belief systems, particularly the early Christian faith, that would ultimately reshape the Roman world.
A must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, culture, and politics in ancient Rome.
