The Romans spread two different religions: pagan religion and Catholicism. In the early days of the Roman empire, they spread pagan Roman religion that is usually referred today as Roman Mythology. In 312 AD, Emperor Constantine converted to Catholicism, and made it the state religion in 313. After that point Catholicism was spread by the sword across the Roman Empire. This practice continued until the fall of the Roman Empire, and was picked up by most of the kingdoms that rose out of that collapse. The general way of spreading religion within the Roman Empire, and even more so by the governments that followed the fall of the Roman Empire, was if you did not convert to Catholicism, you died.
Roman religion was basically Latin religion and some of its rites predated the foundation of the city. Early Roman religion was also influenced by Sabine religion and Etruscan religion. As the religion evolved, there was an increasing influence from Greek religion and myths.

The early Roman Empire persecuted followers of both religions but ultimately did not stem the growth of either religion. - APEX
The Roman Empire, in its earlier years, had a religion derived from what we now refer to as Greek mythology (formerly it was the Greek religion) as well as the worship of the Emperor, since some Roman emperors proclaimed themselves to be gods. Later, the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its official religion.
