Where did the Romans worship their gods?

Answer 1

Rome had a complex system of religious beliefs influenced by surrounding countries and territories. Rome enjoyed a mainly pagan system of many deities and personages who were revered in different ways. These religious beliefs were practiced all through the Roman Empire, not just in Rome proper.

Later, when Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome, these other religions faded somewhat but never completely.

Answer 2

generally, the Romans would go to the temples located in the major sectors of the capital city, as well as the small shrines that exist from the Greek Empire years before. However, it was not uncommon for Romans to keep a shrine to their patron gods in the home or common area of building compounds.

Answer 3

There were many gods who all had their own temples. Most of those were situated in the larger cities. Most gods had their own priests who officiated in the temples and saw to proper prayers and offerings.

Most people only visited those temples when they sought protection or favor with regard of the god's specific area of power: they might for instance make an offering in the temple of Neptune before undertaking a sea journey. For their daily religious observances people turned to their 'household gods', the god that protected their home and family. Most homes had a small altar, much in the way traditional Catholics may have a crucifix and maybe a statuette of Maria or another saint in their homes.

To the ancient Greeks and Romans, gods were only there for protection and good luck. Religion did not have the "moral guidance" role that it would only get with the later advent of Christianity. Morality was there, but considered a subject for philosophers in ancient Rome.
