Warde Fowler is a comprehensive examination of ancient Roman religion, presented as a series of lectures delivered at Edinburgh University in the early 20th century. The work provides insight into the evolution of religious practices and beliefs among the Roman people from their earliest times to the age of Augustus. It addresses the complexities of Roman religious structures, shedding light on how they intertwined with various social, legal, and historical contexts. The opening of this work outlines Fowler's intention to explore the roots of Roman religious experience, emphasizing its significance in understanding the broader context of Roman history. He highlights the need to move past the formalized and often misunderstood aspects of Roman religion that characterized its later stages. Fowler aims to illuminate the original instincts and beliefs that shaped Rome's spiritual landscape, acknowledging challenges in accessing narratives from early periods due to the scarcity of surviving texts and the influence of Greek culture on Roman interpretations. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of various facets of Roman spirituality, including its connections to agriculture, family life, and the rigorous discipline imposed by the state.
