The Roman's more or less copied the Greek religion and Pantheon wholesale, although there were certain changes. The 12 major God's were; (Greek first, Roman last)

  • Zeus - Jupiter
  • Hera - Juno
  • Poseidon - Neptune
  • Athena - Minerva
  • Ares - Mars
  • Aphrodite - Venus
  • Apollo - Apollo
  • Artemis - Diana
  • Hephaestus - Vulcan
  • Hestia - Vesta
  • Hermes - Mercury
  • Demeter - Ceres

Some of these deities were very similar (i.e. Hermes/Mercury), but others were more different, such as Hestia and Vesta.

Because the Romans took the Greek gods but actually, the Romans had quite a few more gods than the Greeks.
