(3) 4-6 Life in the Roman Empire series. Hinds's balanced book provides well-researched explanations of the ways Roman religious beliefs infused the lives of men and women, marked places and days, and sustained civic and family structure. She also emphasizes the rich variety of practices throughout the Empire and admits that much is unknown or can only be generalized. Frequent art reproductions add interest.
