Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Roman Sacrificial Altars, an Archaeological Study, of Monuments in Rome
In the simple life of early Rome the sacrifices must have been performed in a manner fitting the character and en vironment of the people. For these sacrifices some primi tive form of altar would be required. A few unhewn stones6 or a temporary structure of turf and branches would be sufficient for the Simple ceremonial Of this early worship. Gradually these temporary altars would give place to more permanent structures, where the sacrifices were offered in a manner but little more elaborate than earlier generations had known.
