Cults during the Antonine Plague

Cults during the Antonine Plague

This essay should focus on the significance of cults during the Antonine Plague in Ancient Rome. Two important cults to mention include the cult of Bona Dea and Alexander of Abonouteichos’s snake cult. This paper should take a specific, modern, feminist, and unique position to answer what? so what? and then what? without stating the obvious. The paper should draw from a minimum of 20 sources including ancient Roman and Mediterranean works (English translations) as well as journal articles. For example, Lucian’s tirade against Alexander of Abonouteichos should be mentioned. Chicago style endnote goes and bibliography should be used.
