Rome owes its religious tradition to Greek, Italian, and Etruscan roots. Roman religion was less emotional and more practical. Romans did things for their gods in order to receive certain boons (do ut des, I give so that you may give). Deities were seen as anthropomorphic and thus provided with shelter (i.e., temples) and gifts.

As far as who the gods and goddesses were, Romans had household gods called the Lares and the Penates. Other important gods to Rome included Vesta, Janus, Jupiter, Mars, Juno, Minerva, and Venus. Most of the major gods had a Greek counterpart.
