Abstract
The Romans sincerely believed they were the most pious men in the world and owed their hegemony to their special relationship with the gods: so they felt in deep distrust facing the Hellenistic world, where there was not any religious unity and where philosophical scepticism mixed with the cult of the rulers as gods: so religion could not be an element of mutual understanding between the Roman rulers and their Hellenistic subjects.
