The Cults of Aricia is a book written by Arthur Ernest Gordon that delves into the ancient Roman religion of Aricia. The book explores the various cults that existed in Aricia, which was a small town located in the Alban Hills near Rome. The author provides a detailed account of the rituals, beliefs, and practices of these cults, including the worship of Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon, and the cult of the Rex Nemorensis, the king of the sacred grove. The book also examines the role of Aricia in the wider context of Roman religion and society, and how it influenced the development of Roman mythology and cults. The author draws on a range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and historical records, to provide a comprehensive and engaging account of this fascinating aspect of Roman religion. The Cults of Aricia is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Roman religion, mythology, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
