Beschreibung:
Edward Bispham teaches Ancient History at Brasenose and St Anne's Colleges, and is a lecturer in the Faculty of Classics of the University of Oxford, UK. He has worked and published extensively on the history of Pre-Roman and Roman Italy. He edited (with Christopher Smith) Religion in Archaic and Republican Rome and Italy: Evidence and Experience (2000).
This collection explores the multifaceted nature of the gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Italy. It examines Italic, Etruscan and Latin deities in context and in the material remains, and also in the Greco-Roman written record and later scholarship which drew on these texts.
