For one reason and an- other, that culture had now ceased to be definitely creative, but it kept in existence a body of ideas and standarts of Judgment by which the minds of educated men, all over the Empire, were controll ed.
In religion everywhere there was great dissatisfaction and unrest. The old Roman religion whose forms were still preserved in the limited circle of the ruling Roman families, had become little more than the practice of quaint mean- ingless rites of very low spiritual .content. The traditional Greek religion, centring upon the fes- tivals of the separate delties of each individual state, still" had a strong hold upon Greek men and women in Asta Minor, in Syria and Egypt., but it when't a religion in the purest sense of the word.
