In Hungarian scholarship, there were two publications used in higher education (universities, BA, MA and PhD studies in classics, archaeology or religious studies): the small book on Roman religion published by Istv\u00e1n Hahn in 1975 and the introduction on Roman myth and religion by Thomas K\u00f6ves-Zulauf in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new volume published by Csaba Szab\u00f3 as part of our research group is an introduction focusing not only on the literary sources, but shortly mentions some of the new trends and research topics in Roman religious studies and introduce in the Hungarian literature an interdisciplinary approach, where materiality of religion, sociology of religion and religious studies works together with classics, epigraphy and Roman provincial archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The volume is open access and can be downloaded <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/167887525\/Vall%C3%A1si_k%C3%B6lcs%C3%B6nhat%C3%A1sok_a_R%C3%B3mai_Birodalomban\">here<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/acta.bibl.u-szeged.hu\/90174\/1\/vallas_a_tarsadalomban_11.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are countless syntheses and handbooks on Roman religion.
