Roman Gods:
Religion and spiritual beliefs in Rome were more realistic than fantasy, meaning that their gods had formed and separate personality traits. The gods were known by their actions. The behavior of the god of love, the god of rain, and the god of the sky was described by the actions they performed. The Roman gods were divided into three types: the main gods (combined and equivalent to the Greek gods), native gods (their importance was less), and foreign gods without Roman equivalents, and they were worshiped in two forms: state (public) and family (private).
The moral aspect of Roman religion was very strong, a collective belief that ultimately put religion at the service of the state because everyone fought for the greatness of Rome. For example, the gods and goddesses Jupiter, Xenon, and Minerva played the role of supporting the Roman state.
With the beginning of the Punic Wars and the expansion of Roman possessions, the influence of neighboring religions, especially Greece, on Roman religion increased in such a way that Greek gods were either equated with Roman gods or accepted without any equivalence. For example, Jupiter, the god of gods, was equated with Zeus, Minera with Athena, Mars with Ares, and Venus with Aphrodite. And gods such as Mercury and Apollo entered Rome and were worshipped without any equivalent. Also, statues gradually moved away from their primitive form with influence from Greece and became human-like with artistic refinements. Rome's influence on other religions and Eastern religions continued in the administrative system, financial system, festivals, art, etc. The structure of the government of Egypt, Syria, and even Asia Minor in the period after Alexander's rule was modeled after the desirable government that had elevated the Caesars to the status of gods, and the Roman Empire was gradually founded on it. What finally brought Roman paganism to its knees was the relentless struggle of Christianity over three centuries, which finally became the official religion of the Byzantine Empire in 313 by the Edict of Milan. It was initially promoted in the important cities, but the villages remained unaffected and continued to adhere to their gods. The purification of the Roman gods from Europe was a long and time-consuming process.
