About This Item
Oxford Clarendon Press. Good with no dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0198142870 . E Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. Front hinge cracked but holding. Minor rubbing to boards. ; This book is about Roman religion in the age of Caesar, beginning with the ancestral cults of the Gens Julia at Bovillae and ending with the new cult of Divus Julius all over the Roman Empire. It deals with the old gods, politico-religious ideas, and ruler cult. Caesar is at the centre, as religious reformer rather than modern rationalist. This aspect of him, though remote and unfamiliar, rounds out the portrait of Caesar as the founder of the Empire of which one may get an occasional glimpse in the later writings of Mommsen but which has since been too seldom presented. ; 490 pages .
