The Transformation Of Roman Paganism

""The Transformation of Roman Paganism"" by Franz Cumont is a comprehensive study of the evolution of Roman paganism from its early origins to its transformation into Christianity. The book explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Roman people, including their gods and goddesses, rituals, and festivals. Cumont examines the impact of Greek philosophy and the influence of the Eastern mystery religions on Roman paganism, as well as the role of the imperial cult in shaping the religion of the Roman state. The author also explores the decline of paganism in the face of Christianization and the ways in which Christianity absorbed and transformed many of the elements of Roman paganism.
