Religions de Rome

On the occasion of Professor Robert Schilling’s hundredth birthday (April the 17th of 1913), his disciples and friends organized a colloquium “following in the wake of [his] works”. It was a matter of bringing out the decisive impetus this great scholar gave to the studies about Roman religion, and of assessing the scope of his contribution to the research he carried out into religious sciences of antiquity. In particular this meeting has led to a collective thought in return about the method and about the main issues of R. Schilling’s investigations: Venus and Janus, but also the calendar, Ovid’s Fasti, or even Roman theology.
