About this book
The Religion of Numa and Other Essays on the Religion of Ancient Rome is a work by Jesse Benedict Carter. The preface says the little book tries to tell the story of the religious life of the Romans from the time when their history begins for us until the close of the reign of Augustus. The preface says that each of the book's five essays deals with a distinct period and is in a sense complete in itself.
The text says that Vesta was not so much the goddess of the hearth as the goddess "Hearth" itself, and Janus not the god of doors so much as the god "Door." The text says that in the careful and conscientious fulfilment of the form consisted the whole duty of man toward his gods. The text says a friendship had been begun with King Attalus and that Attalus would do what he could in behalf of the Roman people, and so ambassadors were to be sent to him.
