Traditional roman religion was polytheistic religion

Reference no: EM133202761

The traditional Roman religion was a polytheistic religion, centered around the worship of a multitude of gods, each of whom fulfilled a particular function (e.g., harvest, childbirth, war, women's crafts, the Roman sewage system, etc.). The Romans believed that the success of their city was entirely due to "pax deorum" -- peace with the gods, which meant that as long as the Romans honored their gods and sacrificed to them regularly, their city and empire would prosper. A new monotheistic religion, however, began to challenge the traditional Roman religion in the mid-first century CE and beyond -- Christianity.

In this discussion, you will select to take the role of either the pagans (meaning, followers of the traditional Roman religion) or Christians, and will present your defense of your religion, and an attack of the other religion, entirely based on the following ancient primary sources (meaning, only use the sources included here and the course textbook)
