That this Roman dance culture was rich and vibrant is made abundantly clear in Karin Schlapbach’s excellent lengthy introduction, and by the fourteen chapters of this book. There are three sections: dance in a religious context, dance in a non-religious or not primarily religious context (here called ‘spectacle culture’) and a smaller, third one, ‘Discourses’, that feels a bit like the odds and ends that did not fit the other sections, although it could have been as important a section of the book as the other ones. One also may wonder whether ‘spectacle’ is the right word to use when trying to distinguish the ‘worldly’ from the ‘religious’, if that distinction is valid at all: in her introduction, Schlapbach rightly observes that the categories are not mutually exclusive (p.25) and that dance “served perhaps also to connect various dimensions of Roman culture that we tend to think of as separate” (p.28), giving examples of the ways in which different forms of dance (and other cultural phenomena) were intertwined.

The fourteen chapters of this e-book examine Roman dance by looking at its role in Roman religion, by following it into the theatre and the banquet hall, and by tracing its (metaphorical) presence in a variety of literary contexts, including rhetorical treatises, biography, and lyric poetry. These different approaches, which draw on literary texts, inscriptions, documentary papyri, the visual record, and modern reperformances, converge in illustrating a rich and vibrant dance culture which prided itself on indigenous dances no less than on its capacity to absorb, transform, or revive the dance traditions of their Etruscan or Greek neighbours. Dance was a cultural practice which was able to affirm Romanness, for instance in the case of the Salian priests, but also to raise the question of what was Roman in the first place, for instance when the originally Greek pantomime was embraced by Augustus and came to be known as "Italian style of dancing". Together the fourteen case studies offer fresh perspectives on an underexplored topic, shedding light on the manifold contexts, functions, practitioners, and appreciations of Roman dance.
