註釋Franz Valery Marie Cumont's 'The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism' is a seminal work that explores the influence of Eastern religious practices on the Roman pagan traditions during the early centuries of the Common Era. Drawing on a wealth of archaeological and historical sources, Cumont delves into the rituals, beliefs, and iconography of cults such as Mithraism, Isis worship, and the cult of Cybele, shedding light on the syncretic nature of Roman spirituality. His meticulous scholarship and lucid prose make this book a valuable contribution to the study of religious syncretism in the ancient world. Cumont's interdisciplinary approach, combining elements of archaeology, history, and comparative religion, offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the complex religious landscape of the Roman Empire. Scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history and religious studies will find 'The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism' a compelling and enlightening read.
