The veteran, controversial but influential mythologist turns his distinctive interpretations on early Rome, with a glance at the neighboring Etruscans. After 140 pages of preliminary remarks, the first volume discusses the evidence and functions of the archaic triad and the theology of the Capitoline triad, the fires of public worship, frameworks, living and dead humans, and forces and elements. The second volume covers extensions and mutations, cults, and the Etruscans. It also contains the index for the serially paged set. Originally published as La Religion romaine archaique suivi d'un appendice sur la religion des Etrusques in 1966 by +ditions Payor in Paris, and here reprinted from the 1970 English edition by the University of Chicago Press.

"By exhaustive study of texts, inscriptions, and archaeology of Roman sacred places, Dumezil traces the formation of archaic Roman religion from Indo-European sources through the development of the rites and beliefs of the Roman republic. He describes a religion that was not only influenced by the other religions with which it came into contact, but influenced them as well, in mutual efforts to distinguish one nation from another. Even so, certain continuities were sustained in order to achieve a religion that crossed generations and ways of life. The worship of certain gods became the special concerns of certain parts of society, all of which needed attention to assure Rome's success in war, civil administration, and the production of food and goods.".
