Description:

Examining sites that are familiar to many tourists the author avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion. This text shows the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practiced and how it dealt with foreign cults.
