What characterized Roman mythology and religious worship?

The Roman mythology and religious cult in ancient times was characterized by primitive polytheism. In the Roman conception everything in the world every phenomenon had a soul and a god. For example, the god of the house, the god of the stove, the god of the hoard, the god of the door. The Romans were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and believed that fields, mountains, forests, springs, and rivers also had gods and goddesses living in them. For example, Famanus, the god of crops and flocks, and Diana, the god of forests. People had to offer sacrifices to these gods and goddesses in order to seek peace and protection. When the ancient polytheistic religion of Rome came into contact with Greek culture, many of the original Roman gods merged with Greek gods and took on the characteristics of Greek gods. Under the influence of Greek culture, national gods emerged, and Jupiter, equal to Zeus, was honored as the head of the gods. His wife Uno was equal to the Greek Hera, Neptune, the god of the sea, was equal to Poseidon, Diss, the god of the underworld, was equal to Hades, Venus, the goddess of the spring, was equal to Aphrodite, Bakus, the god of wine, was equal to Dionysus, Vulcan, the god of fire, was equal to Hephaestus, Diana, the god of the forest, was equal to Artemis, and Mercury, the messenger of the gods, was equal to Hermes and so on.

About *** and towards the end of the period, the old religions no longer met the growing religious needs of the people, and the faith of the East began to spread in Rome. Christianity took shape in the Roman Empire around the middle of the 1st century B.C. More than 200 years later, Christianity penetrated and influenced the Roman upper class. Since the Roman Emperor issued the Edict of Milan in 313, Christianity became the religion of the Empire, and gradually developed into a world religion.
