Book Synopsis The Religion of Senators in the Roman Empire by : Zsuzsanna Várhelyi
Book excerpt: This book examines political and religious power as practised by the elite of the Roman Empire. Based on a fresh collection of the evidence, it argues that religion was crucial in power negotiations between emperor and Senate, and that Roman senators embraced and contributed to the emperors' new, individualized religious power.
