Troy is traditionally supposed to have fallen sometime around 1194 BC. Rome was not founded until 753 BC - over four hundred years later.
The legend also suggests that Rome was founded by a descendant (Romulus) of one of the Trojan refugees (Aeneas) who escaped when the city fell.
So the Trojans could not have used Roman names for their gods, any more than Shakespeare could have written a play about Justin Bieber.
Rome didn't exist when Troy fell.

Many of the star names are still in the Arabic, which explains all the star names beginning with "Al".
