Religions of Rome: Volume 1, A History (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book offers a radical survey of over a 1000 years of religious life, from the foundation of Rome to its rise to world empire & Xian conversion. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the 8th century BCE & the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the 1st centuries of the Xian era. A companion volume, Religions of Rome, Vol 2: A Sourcebook, sets out a wide range of documents, illustrating the religious life in the Roman world.
