The Last Pagans of Rome

[Jona Lendering]

This new book promises to be an interesting read.
It should help dispel the modern romanticized myths of 'heroic' pagans resisting Christianity propagated by Gibbon and his ilk (and movies like Agora).

I am currently reading it. The two first chapters were not as good as I had been hoping for (the first one discusses the non-question whether we should call the non-Christians pagans or polytheists), but after that, the book's a delightful read, very perceptive and interesting.
