Apollo. In the religion of the early Romans there's no trace of the worship of Apollo. The Romans were introduced to his divinity by the Greeks, and adopted all of their ideas about him from them as well. There's no doubt that the Romans knew of his worship amongst the Greeks from a very early time, and tradition says that they consulted Apollo's oracle at Delphi even before the expulsion of the kings, but the first temple that was raised to him by the Romans is in 430 BC. That temple was raised to him for the purpose of averting a plague.
