Summary

"The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire" by T. R. Glover is an historical exploration of the interplay between diverse religious beliefs during the rise of the Roman Empire. Opening with the aftermath of Julius Caesar's assassination, the book paints a picture of a society spiraling into chaos as ambitious groups fought for dominance. Glover directs his focus to the moral and spiritual breakdown of Roman society, highlighting Augustus' efforts to bring back stability by revitalizing traditional Roman religious customs. This revival took place as new ideologies, most notably the early beginnings of Christianity, began to spread changing the religious and authoritative landscape of ancient Rome forever.
