By adding neuroscience, CSR, Cognitive Historiography, biocultural approaches and haptic views on ritual and ritual dynamics, we can now make visible previously invisible dimensions within cult participation, personal religion and ritual performance. … [a] scholarly and literary gem that will be part of the discourse on ancient religion and ritual for a long time to come.'

This book applies cognitive and sensory approaches to Roman rituals, reconnecting readers with religious experiences as members of an embodied audience. These approaches allow us to move beyond the literate elites to examine broader audiences of diverse individuals, who experienced rituals as participants and\/or performers. Case studies of ritual experiences from a variety of places, spaces, and contexts across the Roman world, including polytheistic and Christian rituals, state rituals, private rituals, performances, and processions, demonstrate the dynamic and broad-scale application that cognitive approaches offer for ancient religion, paving the way for future interdisciplinary engagement.
