The Transformation of Roman Paganism

The Transformation of Roman Paganism is a scholarly work by Franz Cumont that explores the evolution of Roman religion from its early polytheistic roots to its transformation under the influence of Hellenistic and Eastern religious beliefs. The book delves into the social and cultural factors that contributed to the changes in Roman paganism, including the rise of mystery cults, the spread of astrology, and the influence of the Roman military on religious practices. Cumont also examines the impact of Christianity on Roman paganism, and how the two religions coexisted and eventually clashed in the later years of the Roman Empire. The Transformation of Roman Paganism is a detailed and insightful study of the religious history of ancient Rome, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the subject.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism, by Franz Cumont.
