Roman Religion
The Romans borrowed their religious beliefs from the peoples around them. They worshipped the same spirits worshiped by their former Etruscan rulers. They also began to worship the Greek gods, giving them new Roman names.
Zeus became Jupiter, Ares became Mars, Aphrodite became Venus, and so forth.
