Challenging major aspects of current scholarly constructions of Roman religion, Ailsa Hunt rethinks what sacrality means in Roman culture, proposing an organic model which defies the current legalistic approach. She approaches Roman religion as a 'thinking' religion (in contrast to the ingrained idea of Roman religion as orthopraxy) and warns against writing the environment out of our understanding of Roman religion, as has happened to date. In addition, the individual trees showcased in this book have much to tell us which enriches and thickens our portraits of Roman religion, be it about the subtleties of engaging in imperial cult, the meaning of numen, the interpretation of portents, or the way statues of the Divine communicate. 410 0$aCambridge classical studies. 606 $aTrees$xReligious aspects 607 $aRome$xReligion 615 0$aTrees$xReligious aspects. 676 $a292.2/12 700 $aHunt$b Ailsa$01074846 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158962403321 996 $aReviving Roman religion$92582678 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01557nas 2200457-a 450 001 996215883503316 005 20240413025009.0 035 $a(CKB)110990112649234 035 $a(CONSER)---98657378- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110990112649234 100 $a19901109b19uu2001 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aJournal of property tax management 210 $a[New York, NY] $cPanel Publishers 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $aPrint version: Journal of property tax management.
