Author Description

""Roman and the Superiority of the Orient"" is a book written by Franz Cumont that explores the cultural and religious differences between the ancient Roman Empire and the Eastern civilizations that it encountered. The book traces the history of Rome's interaction with the East, particularly with the Persian Empire, and examines the ways in which the Romans perceived and responded to the cultures they encountered. Cumont argues that the Romans were deeply influenced by the superior knowledge and sophistication of the East, and that this influence played a significant role in shaping Roman culture and religion. The book is a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between two great civilizations, and offers insights into the cultural and religious dynamics that continue to shape our world today.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism, by Franz Cumont.
