The Romans and Their Gods
Author(s): R.M. Ogilvie
A study of Roman religious life between 80 BC and AD 69 that shows how intimately involved were the Roman gods with human activities. It tells us how the Romans prayed, what happened at a sacrifice, what sort of gods they believed in, and how seriously they took their religion - a religion in which actions, not dogma, was paramount.
