La religion romaine archaïque

Rate this book
Sur quelles bases la religion romaine reposait-elle ? Quelle était à l'origine son organisation ? A quelles influences était-elle soumise ? Et comment a-t-elle évolué ? À travers l'étude des premières divinités romaines, des cultes public et privé, des sacerdoces, des signes des dieux, «Georges Dumézil »restitue une place prépondérante à la théologie et décrit un système étonnamment riche, articulé, hérité en partie de la préhistoire indo-européenne avec d'intelligentes adaptations, en partie produit par les conditions d'habitat et d'environnement.
