Description

Explore the history of religious devotion with Roman Cult Images: The Lives and Worship of Idols from the Iron Age to Late Antiquity. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book by Philip Kiernan examines how cult images functioned within Roman temples. Kiernan provides a unique biographical approach to study the lives of these idols, tracing how they were created, housed, and used in ritual settings. The text explains why these specific idols held more importance for worship than decorative sculpture or votive offerings. By treating these images as entities with agency that were seen as divine, the study offers a deep look into the primary focus of ancient worship. This work uses cross-cultural comparative material to provide a comprehensive view of religious practices in the Roman west.
