The Ancient Roman Afterlife: Di Manes, Belief, and the Cult of the Dead by Charles W. King
ISBN: 9781477320204

Publication Date: 2020-04-28

In Rome, it was believed some humans were transformed into special, empowered beings after death. These deified dead, known as the manes, watched over and protected their surviving family members. The manes were incredibly inclusive--enrolling even those without social clout, such as women and the poor. This book explores their myriad forms and how their worship played out in Roman religion's daily practice.

ISBN: 9783170292246

Publication Date: 2021-10-06

The Roman Empire was home to a fascinating variety of different cults and religions. Its enormous extent, the absence of a precisely definable state religion and constant exchanges with the religions and cults of conquered peoples and of neighbouring cultures resulted in a multifaceted diversity of religious convictions and practices. This volume provides a compelling view of central aspects of cult and religion in the Roman Empire.
