Like many ancient civilizations, the Romans had a vast pantheon of gods.
Unlike other civilizations, the Romans were very flexible in where their gods came from.
In particular, they adopted many of their gods from the Greek pantheon. It wasn’t just a matter of copying them. They would often rename the gods and alter their mythology to align with Roman virtues.
When it came to religion, the Romans weren’t stealing so much as they were like the Borg.
Learn more about the Roman pantheon of gods and how they borrowed their deities from other cultures on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
