Description
The Roman world was a complex tapestry of connections, with local lives remaining fragmented despite a web of intricate relationships that stretched far and wide. This volume explores the ways in which the Roman Empire fostered religious competition in a sophisticated marketplace, where diverse practices and beliefs coexisted and sometimes clashed. The varied forms of violence that were endemic within and between communities are also examined, shedding light on the darker aspects of this ancient society.
