Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains hundreds of inscriptions selected from the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum that shed light on the religious practices, beliefs, and deities of the ancient Romans. They offer insight into the religious aspects of Roman life, from the most prominent to those on the periphery of society. The inscriptions refer in some way to a deity, although in some cases the nature of the reference is unclear. The author focuses on the most common elements of Roman religious practices and includes those that relate to a deity wherever they appear in the inscriptions. Through these inscriptions, the author demonstrates the extent to which religion was an integral part of daily life in ancient Rome.
