Gods/Religion:
The religion in ancient Rome was municipal and not personal. Unlike Christianity where God is worshiped out of love and trust the Romans worshiped their gods out of fear. They participated in festivals, offered sacrifices and offerings, and created family religious practices in the home. Also, the Romans had more than 20 types of gods and goddesses and spirits in which they believed would watch over and take care of them if they were worshiped properly. Some of the Roman gods are: Jupiter Jupiter is the King of the Gods Juno Juno is the Queen of the Gods Neptune Neptune is the God of the sea Pluto Pluto is the God of death Apollo Apollo is the God of the sun Diana Diana is the Goddess of the moon Mars Mars is the God of war Venus Venus is the Goddess of love Cupid Cupid is the God of love Mercury Mercury is the Messenger of the Gods Minerva Minerva is the God of wisdom Ceres Ceres is the earth goddess Proserpine Proserpine is the Goddess of the underworld Vulcan Vulcan is the smith God Bacchus Bacchus is the God of Wine Saturn Saturn is the God of time Vesta Vesta is the Goddess of home Janus Janus is the God of doors Uranus and Gaia Uranus and Gaia are the Parents of Saturn Flora Flora is the goddess of flowers Plutus God of Wealth |
