Overview

We have thus four distinct phases in the history of Roman society, and a corresponding phase of religion in each period; and if we add to this that new social structure which came into being by the reforms of Augustus at the beginning of the empire, together with the religious changes which accompanied it, we shall have the five periods which these five essays try to describe: the period before the Tarquins, that is the Religion of Numa ; the later kingdom, that is the Reorganisation of Servius ; the first three centuries of the republic, that is the Coming of the Sibyl ; the closing centuries of the republic, that is the Decline of Faith ; and finally the early empire and the Augustan Renaissance.
