The Dancing Lares and the Serpent in the Garden: Religion at the Roman Street Corner Hardcover - 2017
by Harriet I. Flower
From the rear cover
"Harriet Flower's book is important for understanding the history of ancient Roman religion and the late republic. Above all, it is original and convincing in stressing the ubiquitous and pervading character of the cult of the lares in Rome and a number of other places in the Roman world."--J�rg R�pke, University of Erfurt, Germany
"This important book provides a comprehensive treatment of the lares, the ancient Roman household gods, in all the contexts in which they are well-documented, revealing them to be much more significant than conventionally understood. Harriet Flower has yet again identified a neglected aspect of Roman life and produced a definitive treatment that illuminates an extraordinary range of further areas."--Catherine Steel, University of Glasgow
