There some periods of cruel Roman repression of Torah-observance (such as the decrees of Hadrian). At other times, the Romans allowed the Jews to practice their religious beliefs as long as they paid their taxes and didn't cause civil unrest in the cities where they lived.

No, Romans did not believe in Valhalla, as it is a concept from Norse mythology associated with the afterlife for warriors who died bravely in battle. The Romans had their own beliefs about the afterlife, including ideas of the underworld ruled by Pluto and the practice of honoring ancestors through various rituals. While the Romans did interact with various cultures, including the Norse, their religious beliefs were distinct and centered around their own pantheon of gods and traditions.

Actually, there were times when the Romans outlawed Judaism, such as during the time of Hadrian.

When the Romans took control of the Jews why did they allow them to continue there religious beliefs?

Ancient religions did not impose their beliefs on others as the later monotheistic Judaism and its offshoots Christianity and Islam do. The Romans recognised that the gods were really the same, just with different local nanes - Jupiter = Zeus = Jehovah. When Pompey captured Jerusalem, he straightway went up to the temple and sacrificed to Jehovah.

They didn't. For the most part. There was a time called "Gizeiros HaShmad" meaning: decrees of destruction-because there were laws forbidding Jews to obey their religion-thereby destroying their spiritual growth. There were however certain times during certain rulers when the Jews were allowed to practice their beliefs.
