Romanstudent19 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I was just wondering, would you recommend the book 'Archaic Roman Religion' by George Dumezil, I've seen it recommended on some sites and I was just wondering if it was a good book on the Roman religion and beliefs. Thanks for any help (also, feel free to leave any other suggestions if you want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantagathus Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I have it and have not finished it. In fact I owe UNRV a review for it. From what I have read, I would say that it is a bit tedious and if you are not up on general (proto)Indo-European religious studies you'll be a bit lost. It also struck me a a bit out of date. However, there are some valuable insights in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, do you know of books that are good for beginners in the Roman religion and beliefs, 'cause I really would like to learn more, in detail (there's only so much that internet sites can say). Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
