520    Was religious practice in ancient Rome cultic and hostile 
       to individual expression? Or was there, rather, 
       considerable latitude for individual initiative and 
       creativity? Jorg Rupke, one of the world's leading 
       authorities on Roman religion, demonstrates in his new 
       book that it was a lived religion with individual 
       appropriations evident at the heart of such rituals as 
       praying, dedicating, making vows, and reading. On Roman 
       Religion definitively dismantles previous approaches that 
       depicted religious practice as uniform and static. 
       Juxtaposing very different, strategic, and even subversive
       forms of individuality with traditions, their normative 
       claims, and their institutional protections, Rupke 
       highlights the dynamic character of Rome's religious 
       institutions and traditions. In Rupke's view, lived 
       ancient religion is as much about variations or even 
       outright deviance as it is about attempts and failures to 
       establish or change rules and roles and to communicate 
       them via priesthoods, practices related to images or 
       classified as magic, and literary practices. Rupke 
       analyzes observations of religious experience by 
       contemporary authors including Propertius, Ovid, and the 
       author of the "Shepherd of Hermas." These authors, in very
       different ways, reflect on individual appropriation of 
       religion among their contemporaries, and they offer these 
       reflections to their readership or audiences. Rupke also 
       concentrates on the ways in which literary texts and 
       inscriptions informed the practice of rituals.
