The Romans honoured their gods by performing rites specific to each god(dess). These rites involved giving offerings (sacrifices) to the gods. Many of these offerings were blood sacrifices, (slaughter of animals). Some sacrifices were offerings of flowers, milk, honey and the like.
Yes, there were literally hundreds of gods that the Romans had adopted into their culture from their conquests of other empires.
because the romans thought that the the roman gods and goddesses were the real gods and goddesses but we now know from the bible that the one and only true god is yahweh.
The Romans built temples and shrines (sacraria) in honour to the gods. They also built the Pantheon which was a temple to honor all the gods.
First, Romans believed in lots of Gods and Goddesses without meaning, but later they built temples for Romans to worship so that they made meanings to them . For them it was very important and they believed they were a family protecting each other. If they gave sacrament, in return they would be blessed by the Gods/Goddesses... They also believed that if the Gods/Goddesses were angry there would be a storm and if they was happy it would be sunny, If they teased the Gods/Goddesses near people it would cost their life...
The ancient Romans were pantheists. This means that they followed many gods and goddesses. They had no formal religion, with rites and rules as we think of religion. The cults that did have these rules were imported from other countries, such as Mithraism (from Persis) and Isis worship (from Egypt) and Christianity (from Judaea). The closest they came to having a formal "religion" was the various rites and rituals that were performed annually to honor certain gods. Most Romans worshiped their personal gods either the major ones or a minor one.The ancient Romans were pantheists. This means that they followed many gods and goddesses.

The gods would stop supporting them.

The same place as everyone else. They invented them
Gods and goddesses had always been a part of Roman religion of ancient times, as they spead out and other people became a part of Rome, those gods and goddesses became as Roman as the people.
In honor of their gods and goddesses, the Greeks began building temples and statues.
It's because the relationship of the Romans and Greeks, in that the Roman civilization ruled much of Europe for a very long time and applied the worship of their gods and goddesses: Jupiter, Juno, Pluto, likened them to the Greek Zeus, Hera, and Hades. As the Romans expanded their Empire, they also "adopted" the conquered peoples gods/goddesses into their own and showed those foreign gods/goddesses as aspects of other gods/goddesses.
Because they believed that they were going to be rewarded somehow.
By way of sexual appealling at their temples.
Romans had gods and goddesses Christianity had a Godmeaning one
Romans built many temples to their gods and goddesses. Some Romans kept small statues of gods in their houses as well.
