[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Edinburgh University Press], This book introduces students to the complex and foreign world of Roman religion and to major trends in its study.

Subjects treated include the nature and development of religious authority and religious institutions the control of space and time and religion's role in fashioning Roman identity. Also under discussion is the narration and analysis of Rome's transition from Republic to Empire.
