Acerca de este título
Rome did not fear wine.
It feared what wine could gather.
When the cult of Bacchus spread through the Roman Republic, it was more than a religious movement.
It was secret meetings. Night rituals. Shared vows. A god who did not answer to the Senate.
In 186 BCE, the state struck back. The Bacchanalian scandal led to investigations, arrests, and one of the most dramatic religious suppressions in Roman history. Yet Bacchus survived.
This audiobook traces the rise of Rome’s wine god from his Greek origins to his transformation within Roman society.
It follows his crossing into Italy, the political panic he triggered, the regulation of his rites, and the ways ordinary people kept his worship alive.
Through ritual, theatre, mystery traditions, and shifting public opinion, Bacchus became more than a foreign deity.
He became a measure of power, control, and belief in the Roman world.
A focused narrative history of religion and politics in Republican Rome.
