Strategies and Practices of Resilience in Roman Religion

Edited by Jörg Rüpke, Katell Berthelot, Jan Dochhorn, Maren Niehoff, Rubina Raja, Christopher Smith, Chiara Ombretta Tommasi, Markus Vinzent and Annette Weissenrieder.

This volume, dating back to the 18th Annual Conference of the European Association for the Study of Religions (Pisa, 30 August to 3 September 2021), aims to explore the role of religion as an instrument 'of' and 'for' resilience. By adopting a diachronic perspective, spanning from the traditional date of Rome's foundation to the fall of Constantinople, its six contributions examine the resilient function of religion at Rome and, at the same time, how resilience could affect Roman religion in its turn. - Contents: Giorgio Ferri: Religion as a Key Factor for Resilience at Rome. - Gianmarco Grantaliano: Resilient Roman Religious Structures in the Second Punic War.
