engagement with recent evidence from arguably the most famous Roman sacred grove, that of Diana at Nemi where pilgrims hung offerings from branches and from where the now infamous myth of the rex Nemorensis and the so-called “golden bough” originates. This is perhaps a consequence of Hunt’s emphasis on the power of trees in the imagination, rather than in lived experience. There is also a tendency at times to over-emphasize the significance of observations derived from one tree or one case study, and to extend these uncritically to “the Roman imagination,” “Roman thinking,” “Roman thinkers,” and “the Roman world” when it is not always clear that this wider application is sustainable. Despite this, however, the book demands to be read by anyone serious about “reviving Roman religion.”
