The Romans in the time of the kingdom and early Republic were basically animistic. They gradually adopted the gods of their closest neighbours, the Etruscans, then the gods of the Greeks. For example, the Greek god Zeus became the Roman god Jupiter. It seems that the Greeks, in turn, had learnt about Zeus from the ancient proto-Indo-European culture of eastern Europe.
