Abstract / Description of output
Recent research on the religious history of the Roman imperial period has clearly shown that the notion of "Roman paganism" having been transformed by "Eastern religions" was a mistaken one. The positive value of this critique is less clear, however. The studies in this volume reexamine the parallels between the evolution of Empire and religion in the pre-Christian Imperium Romanum from various perspectives.
