Why did the Romans worship?
Apollo was a Greek god who was adopted by the Romans. The process started with the acquisition of the Sibylline Books of the oracles of Cumae by Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the last king of Rome who ruled in the 6th century BC. The Sibylline were Greek oracles who lived in several Greek cities, including Cumae, a Greek city south of Rome, near Naples. The Romans created two priests dedicated to this guariging and interpreting these books, the duumviri sacris faciundis. Later this priesthood was increased to ten (decemviri sacris faciundis) and then to fifteen (quindecimviri sacris faciundis). Apollo was an oracular god; that is, the god of the oracles. Thus the Romans adopted Apollo. The Romans also adopted Asclepius, the son of Apollo and the divinity who mediated medicine and healing, which were associated with Apollo. In Hellenistic times, especially during the 3rd century BC, Apollo became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun, as Apollo Helios (Helios means sun in Greek). Apollo Sol (Sun) appeared in Roman literature in the in the third century AD. Constantine the Great (ruled 306-337) worshipped Apollo Sol and wanted the citizens of the empire to worship him.
