Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores how the Romans cleverly interpreted religious signs and omens to suit their political needs, even when doing so required them to go directly against religious proscriptions. However, when their open contempt for religion became too blatant, it had the effect of weakening the state. The author argues that a society can only maintain its political health by respecting religion, even if it must manipulate religious tenets for its own ends. Ultimately, the book shows how the Romans used religion as a means of political manipulation, demonstrating the significance of religious belief and practice in the maintenance of social and political order.
