Hello everyone!
The more I read about Roman history, the more I understand the depth with which nearly everything was immersed in religion. Can anyone recommend any good books that focus on the religious aspect in Roman society? There seem to be quite a few books written on the subject. Paganism and Christianity are both fine, but what I had in mind was the religious foundation of the early Republic. Civic offices and activities seem to have had a strong grounding in state religion, and it seems like understanding the religious aspect behind Roman life will put everything else into a richer context.
Thanks, and have a great day!
