LATN 102: Introduction to Latin Literature: Comedy (HC): Mythology and Religion

This book offers a radical new survey of more than a thousand years of religious life in Rome, from the foundation of the city to its rise to world empire and its conversion to Christianity. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the eighth century BC and the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the first centuries of the Christian era. Accompanied by a volume of primary source documents in translation.
