"This is really terrific, nuanced introduction to religions of Rome. Although it is probably not ideal for most undergrads, it's great for advanced undergrads and graduate students.
These three amazing specialists collaborate to give an overview of the religions of Rome, from the Republic through Christianization. They address the native, civic religion of the city of Rome, while explaining why a search for the "true Roman Religion" that is "uninfluenced by Greek Religion" and they take seriously the exchange of religious ideas and practices that developed as the Republic became Empire. They discuss the tensions between civic cult and elective practice.
Chapter 5 "The Boundaries of Roman Religion" is a great discussion of the establishment and maintenance of the conceptual boundaries between religio and superstitio - acceptable and unacceptable religious practice. It's one of the finest discussion of Roman religious concepts and the relationship between those ideas and the persecutions of "foreign religions."
This simply is a must-read for scholars & teachers of any religion that was practiced within the Roman borders - including scholars of Ancient Christianity & Judaism."
