    Indeed. Since polytheistic religions of the time were more open to the idea of adding foreign deities to their pantheons (Cybele for the Romans, for example), or else equating foreign gods to their own, there was not nearly as much religious conflict as later. The Romans seemed to think that as long as the worship of a god didn't disrupt public order and wasn't morally abhorrent to them (the Bacchanalia, Carthage's infamous baby sacrifices to Saturn), it was fair game.

    With that said, I would agree with the others who have suggested "religion" as "culture" for EB-BI, but isn't that already somewhat represented in public order?
