Pietas y guerra civil

Abstract

The civil wars of the late Republican period are a period of deep political turmoil, in which the cohesion and viability of the civic community are harshly put into question. That has significant religious ramifications, as the relationship between the community and the gods is challenged and at times undermined. Yet claims to piety - to religious scruple and observance, as well as to an enduring connection with the gods - play a major role in contemporary discourses on civil war, and indeed in the running of the military conflicts themselves. This paper charts them by seeking to restore centrality to the religious concerns of the warring parties and explore their political and intellectual implications.
