Description
The link between war and religion in ancient Rome is an area that has been overlooked by modern scholars. This volume addresses this omission by bringing together experts from across the globe to provide a comprehensive study of the role of religion in the wars of the Roman Empire. The chapters have been carefully structured to combine a wide array of scholarship, covering topics such as the Imperial cults and legionary loyalty, omens and portents, funerary cults and practices, and the cult of Mithras. By examining these aspects, this book provides a nuanced understanding of how religion influenced the conduct of war in ancient Rome. This study draws on a range of perspectives to shed new light on a fascinating aspect of Roman history, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the subject.
