Abstract

It was a rough and primitive, but genuine religious sense which had possession of the Roman mind and guided it in the later development of religious and philosophical thought. And. that primarily in 'three ways: first, the Roman, even in the most skeptical days, never quite lost the sense of spiritual presence which is the essential of a religious consciousness, and later on, when Rome recreated her religion out of philosophy, this sense becomes prominent again; secondly, there is the conviction that religion must permeate all the little things of daily life; and thirdly, in spite of all the formalities which choked the ceremonials of the old religion, there remained a genuine desire for a direct relation between man and god.
