The only corrective I can see, therefore, in the light of Cameron’s book is that he argues that ‘paganism’ had largely died out already by the mid 4th c. in Rome (it was ‘mortally dead’ in his words), whereas I argue that elements survived. In the light of compelling archaeological, legal and calendrical evidence for the remaining 99.9% of the population (cult object finds in late roman contexts, repeated anti-pagan laws, traditional festival culture in the calendar), I completely stick to my guns.
