{"product_id":"cicero-and-roman-religion-federico-santangelo-9783515126434","title":"Cicero and Roman Religion: Eight Studies","description":"This book gathers eight papers devoted to specific aspects of Cicero's engagement with Roman religion, and seeks to make a wider contribution to the understanding of Cicero's work as historical evidence. By engaging with religion as a fundamental factor of social cohesion and political stability, both in his theoretical works and his speeches, Cicero shaped a wide-ranging and ambitious discourse around themes and images that were firmly located in first-century BCE Rome. His contribution also proved very influential in the centuries to come. The volume focuses on the relationship between law, religion, and religious authority in Cicero; the interplay between divine images, ritual contexts, and the conceptualization of the divine; Cicero's construction of a Greek deity for a Roman audience; the role of religious elements in the shaping of a Roman political identity; the tension between 'natural law' and Roman \u003ci\u003epietas\u003c\/i\u003e; the problem of divine and human foresight; the relationship between theoretical views of the gods and late Republican public cult; and the reception, use, and readaptation of Ciceronian theology in the English Enlightenment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Santangelo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3515126430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783515126434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Federico Santangelo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066385445119,"sku":"9783515126434","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe25f4ee-1ff0-4b48-a07b-fa9cf31954d2.jpg?v=1768678195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cicero-and-roman-religion-federico-santangelo-9783515126434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
