R. Glover is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex interactions and struggles between various religious ideologies during the early Roman Empire, particularly highlighting the emergence of Christianity alongside established pagan traditions. Glover’s aim seems to be to shed light on how these conflicts shaped the cultural and spiritual landscape of the time.  The opening of the text presents a vivid portrayal of the political and social condition of Rome following the assassination of Julius Caesar, setting the stage for the subsequent turmoil and eventual consolidation of power under Augustus. Glover reflects on the chaotic aftermath of Caesar's death and the societal decline that occurred as competing factions struggled for control, leading to widespread disorder. As he introduces the dynamics of Roman religion, Glover indicates a profound concern regarding the moral and spiritual decay of society, hinting at how Augustus sought to restore stability through a revival of traditional Roman religious practices, juxtaposed with the rise of new faiths and ideas, including the nascent Christian movement. This introduction effectively frames the subsequent discussions on the interplay of religious thought and state authority in ancient Rome.
