In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Lares Augusti, the neighborhood guardian deities that Augustus reinvented as a tool of civic and imperial unity. They dive into the Compitalia festival, the role of freedmen as vicomagistri, the intersection of religion and politics in the vici of Rome, and how the cult helped integrate diverse urban populations into the Augustan order. Drawing on epigraphic evidence and the physical remains of compita shrines, the conversation illuminates a lesser-known but deeply significant aspect of the princeps' religious reforms. #LaresAugusti #Compitalia #Augustus #RomanReligion #Vicomagistri #Freedmen #ImperialCult #RomanVici #PaxRomana #Princeps #RomanRepublicanReligion #AugustanReforms #Epigraphy #RomanFestivals #AncientRome #History #FexingoHistory #Mediterranean Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
