You need to be a little more specific.
The Etruscans, Republic Rome, Empire Rome, Greece.....
What era, what focus?
Added: that would be Roman, Greek, Persian, Egyptian - Christianity borrowed from pagan cultures popular in Rome and Rome welcomed any culture and pagan deities in. They were reluctant to have temples erected to foreign deities but gave in to Apollo (Greek) and Isis (Egyptian) - there's very little that is original to Christianity. Email the history buff or compare Christian rituals and beliefs to pagan religions of the time.

Which particular culture did you have in mind? One of my degrees is in history and I learned at least a little about a lot of cultures.
