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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
