This is written con- cerning the Isis-Fortuna.
'2^ Fowler has written a full and interesting article on Fortuna in Rome for Hastings, Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, VI, pp. 98 ff. He attacks the problem from a point of view entirely different from that in the present study. But while his results are somewhat different from mine, since he deals with the problem of individual faith, nothing that he says tends to obscure the fact of the enormous power of the worship in this period.
CHAPTER
...II The Period of Transition The actual change of philosophy and religion in Rome from paganism to Christianity is a highly complicated process. The change is not merely external, as might be inferred, for example, from the destruction of old idols and fanes, and worship at new temples on a new feast-day. It is spiritual, and it involves the larger question of how far spiritual man can really change from age to age; whether man intellectually and morally does change.
If we are to believe that Fortuna ceased to exist as a power at the beginning of the new era, we must consider whether man can change so completely as to drop an old creed in every detail and take up a new.
