Présentation de l'éditeur
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION-SOURCES AND SCOPE THE conditions of our knowledge of the natIve religion of early Rome may perhaps be best illus .. trated by a parallel from Roman a.rch~ology. The Vlsltor to the Roloan Forum at the present day,lf he wlshes to reconstruct in imagination the Forum of the early RepublIc, must not merely (think away' many stt&t& of 1.&ter buildIngs, but, we are told~ must pioture to hImself a totally dIfferent onentatioD of the whole: the upper ~etl of remains, w hlOh he sees before him, is for his purpose In most cases not merely useless, but positively mlsleading. In the same WAY, ti' Wft wish to form it picture of the g&nuiJ1.e ltoman religion~ we OatlDOt find it immediAtely in classioal literature, we must banish from our minds all that is due to the oontact wlth the East and Egypt# a.nd even with the other raoes of Italy.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an examination of the native religion practiced in Rome before it was influenced by external cultures, particularly Greek. The author's primary focus is on the belief systems and practices of the early Romans, particularly their concepts of gods, rituals, and the relationship between the divine and the human. The author argues that the religion of early Rome was characterized by a belief in impersonal divine powers, or numina, who controlled various aspects of nature and human life. These numina were distinct from the anthropomorphic gods of later Roman religion and were not typically represented in human form or with human characteristics. Instead, they were associated with specific places or objects, such as trees, groves, or springs. The book also explores the practical aspects of early Roman religion, including the role of priests, the performance of rituals, and the significance of religious festivals. The author argues that religion played a central role in the lives of early Romans, shaping their moral values, social customs, and understanding of the world around them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330262221_0
