Abstract: The space for family sociability in Europe. The lararium, or Roman family altar, brought together the images of the Lares and the Penates, divinities who were the protectors of the household and were worshipped in the home. Its study brings us closer to an essential manifestation of the daily religious practice of the Romans, the religiosity developed inside the home.
