Présentation de l'éditeur
"To understand the success of the Romans you must understand their piety." - Dionysius of Halicarnassus
For over a thousand years, Roman religion satisfied the spiritual needs of a wide range of people throughout the Empire because it offered an intelligent and dignified interpretation of how the world functions. It was a firm yet tolerant religion whose adherents committed very few crimes in its name and who were healthily free of neuroses. In this short, perceptive study of Roman religious life between 80 BC and AD 69, Professor Ogilvie shows how intimately involved were the Roman gods with human activities. Drawing widely on original material, he tells us how the Romans prayed, what happened at a sacrifice, what sort of gods they believed in, and how seriously they took their religion - a religion in which actions, not dogma, were paramount.
Biographie de l'auteur
Robert Ogilvie was Professor of Humanities at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland until his early death in 1981.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Basing his work on much original material (all of which is quoted in translation), R. M. Ogilvie gives a picture of religious life in Rome during the period between 80 B. C., and A. D. 69. He discusses the various Roman gods and their spheres of activity, the manner and kinds of prayer, forms of sacrifice, the belief in divination, the calendar of the religious year, private religion and its role in Roman family life, priests and their part in the complicated procedure of Roman religion, and the powerful religious revival in the time of Augustus.The religion of ancient Rome, writes the author, was a fine, yet tolerant, religion whose adherents committed very few crimes in its name and who were healthily free of neuroses. It failed because men's view of the world changed. N° de réf. du vendeur 00105193761
