Light creasing to rear wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; Plus qu'un intermédiaire entre les hommes et les dieux, le prêtre romain, dépositaire des intérêts humains, défend l'existence de la Cité contre l'ennemi d'en haut, parfois plus redoutable que l'ennemi aux frontières. Mais, citoyen parmi d'autres, jouant de la superstition de ses contemporains, il oriente à son gré et au gré des dieux la vie juridique, politique de la communauté. Son pouvoir est ainsi bien souvent supérieur à toutes les puissances reconnues. Alors qui est vraiment le prêtre romain ? Homme des dieux ou fonctionnaire d'État? Messager ou magicien ? C'est à toutes ces interrogations que répond le livre de Danielle Porte. ; Collection Realia; 266 pages
