Description

Explore the changing role of ancient rituals in Animal Sacrifice in the Roman Empire (31 BCE-395 CE). For over a thousand years, animal sacrifice served as a central element of Graeco-Roman culture, acting as a way to show piety to the gods and organize social relationships. This work by J. B. Rives examines how these practices transformed as Christianity grew in Rome during the third century CE. By analyzing shifting socio-economic, political, and cultural meanings, this book provides a deep look at a period of massive change. The research draws on a wide variety of sources, including literary, epigraphic, archaeological, art historical, and philosophical evidence to explain how sacrifice functioned in the Roman world.
