In ancient worlds, as in other historical periods, the links between religion and society and lifestyles constitute a privileged theme of cultural history. Religion has an integrating and socializing function as an ethical and normative framework determining the actions of individuals and communities. It provides a framework conducive to the transmission of values, references, and behaviors that constitute the dynamics of cultural memory.
A long-term perspective has been adopted here on the role of memory, within a broader framework of the Greco-Roman world. This dimension is of particular importance, since it requires reflection on possible evolutions or transfers of practices. It is therefore a question of scrutinizing the efforts of memory that our sources testify to in the sphere of religious practices, in connection with the construction of identities.
