(Franz Valery Marie) Cumont, Franciscus Cumont, Franz Valery Marie 11024148 The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism Produced by Barbara Tozier, Bill Tozier, Keith Edkins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism" by Franz Cumont is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significant influences of various Eastern religions on Roman pagan practices, particularly in the context of the later Roman Empire and the eventual rise of Christianity. Cumont delves into the complexities of how these foreign faiths reshaped the spiritual landscape of Rome, contributing to a synthesis of beliefs that ultimately transformed traditional Roman religion. The opening of the work lays foundational concepts for understanding the pervasive impact of Oriental religions throughout the Roman Empire. Cumont begins by establishing the superiority of Eastern cultures, contrasting their rich traditions, rituals, and philosophies with the more formal and bureaucratic Roman beliefs. He discusses the appeal of these religions to both the senses and intellect, emphasizing their communal nature which allowed for individual significance in the worship experiences. Cumont suggests that the spread of these beliefs fostered a desire for emotional engagement with the divine, ultimately facilitating a shift in moral and ethical perspectives that resonated with the population and prepared the groundwork for the advent of Christianity.
