The ancient Romans worshiped pagan gods & goddesses. Many of them were borrowed from the Greeks. The Romans gave them new names, as example the Greek Zeus was the Roman Jupiter.
Later, Christianity was a "State" religion. This entailed worshiping the Father, Son & the Holy Ghost.

∙ 11y agoI don't think that there's room in the answer box to name all the gods that the Romans worshiped. The Romans themselves probably couldn't name them all. They worshiped the state gods and goddesses such as Jupiter, Mars, Minerva, etc., or at least they gave lip service to them. In addition they had personal gods which could be the major ones such as Venus or Apollo, or they could be obscure ones that they felt an attachment to. Then there were the household gods and the gods who had jurisdiction over whatever activity they might be contemplating. The Romans also had a habit of personifying the abstract and turning it into a deity. Fortuna and Roma are just two. At times they imported gods/goddesses (as if they didn't have enough home grown deities) Isis was a popular import as well as Mithras and Cybele. Oh yes, I almost forgot about all the emperors who were deified and had their own priests and shrines or temples.

Did the Romans worshipped in their own homes?
Yes: all Roman families had "house gods" that protected their homes and families. They had small shrines within a home and were worshipped there on a daily basis. To the average Roman they were much more important than the 'public' gods such as Jupiter.
How would worshipping the emperor while he lived affect the Romans's view of their ruler?
When you worship someone you honor them. I think the view of the emperor would be affected in a good way if people worshipped the emperor while he was living. In my opinion the people would have a lot of respect. The citizens worshipped the emperor like they worshipped the gods. Loyalty to the emperor was the same as the loyalty to the gods.
