HU:Cultus deorum Romanorum

A latin Cultus Deorum Romanorum kifejezés Róma kereszténység előtti ősi vallására utal, mely a kezdetben még falusias kisváros agrárjellegű társadalmának hitvilágából fejlődött ki.

"Őszintén hiszem, hogy Romulus a madárjóslatok révén, Numa pedig a szent cselekmények elrendezésével vetette meg Városunk alapjait, amely az istenek tökéletes kiengesztelése nélkül sohasem lett volna ilyen hatalmas." -- Cicero "Az istenek természete" (Havas László fordítása)

Sometimes called "Roman Paganism", the modern practice of the Cultus Deorum Romanorum is an attempt to reconstruct the ancient religion of the Romans as closely as possible, making as few concessions to modern sensibilities as possible. As with other forms of historical reconstructionist paganism, every attempt is made to rely on actual historical and archaeological evidence, and interpolations are made only when the primary sources are silent, and then we strive to be consistent with them. [1] When gaps in the evidence, or the realities of modern life, make it necessary to create something new it should be:

• as consistent as possible with what we do know about the classical-era Romans and their legacy.
• clearly presented as a recent innovation. We frown on attempts to advertise something modern and invented as ancient and historical in order to give it an authority (and marketability!) it does not deserve.
