Religion was integral to the conduct of war in the ancient world and the Romans were
certainly no exception. No campaign was undertaken, no battle risked, without first
making sacrifice to propitiate the appropriate gods (such as Mars, god of War) or
consulting oracles and omens to divine their plans. Yet the link between war and religion
is an area that has been regularly overlooked by modern scholars examining the conflicts
of these times. This volume addresses that omission by drawing together the work of
experts from across the globe. The chapters have been carefully structured by the
editors so that this wide array of scholarship combines to give a coherent, comprehensive
study of the role of religion in the wars of the Roman Empire. Aspects considered
in depth include: the Imperial cults and legionary loyalty; the army and religious/regional
disputes; Trajan and religion; Constantine and Christianity; omens and portents; funerary
cults and practices; the cult of Mithras; the Imperial sacramentum; religion & Imperial
military medicine
