Religion as a Tool of Empire
Religion as a Tool of Empire
- Romans use religion as a form of nationalism. How?
- get involved in city-wide festivals, be patriotic, show your support for your government!
- here's some free stuff, a day off from work and a party, yay! don't you love us?
- Romans use religion as a way to pacify newly conquered peoples. How?
- you're new here? you can keep your traditions, we respect that. just pay us taxes and fight in our military.
Religion: Urban vs. Rural
- City Slickers (Urbanites)
- They don't believe in the religious traditions the way we think
- They use them more as an excuse to party
- Academics sometimes make fun of truly religious (spiritual) folks
Religion: Urban vs. Rural
- Country Folk (Rural dwellers)
- usually have very strong religious traditions and true beliefs as we would understand them
- why??
- they are very reliant on things like the weather and soil quality for their success (things that are not easy, if impossible, for a farmer in Roman times to control)
- the gods provide the resources they need to survive and thrive
