The book discusses the various forms of superstition prevalent in Roman society, including divination, magic, and religious cults. It examines the social and cultural factors that contributed to the widespread belief in supernatural forces and the ways in which these beliefs were expressed in everyday life. The book also delves into the political and philosophical debates surrounding superstition during the Roman Republic and Empire. Dill examines the attitudes of prominent Roman thinkers such as Cicero and Seneca towards superstition and their attempts to distinguish between legitimate religious practices and harmful superstitions. Throughout the book, Dill draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including literary texts, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive picture of the role of superstition in Roman society. The book is aimed at scholars and students of ancient history and religion, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and social history of the ancient world.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius, by Samuel Dill.
