Worshipping the Many Gods
The Roman Empire was a polytheistic civilization, meaning they recognized and worshiped multiple gods and goddesses—at least 67, to be precise. That’s not even including all the demigods!

Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva were among the main deities, and since people in ancient Rome believed that everything was protected and governed by spirits, including rivers, trees, and their homes, they often built shrines for them. These weren’t just for worship, but also as a way to show off their wealth. The more impressive your shrine, the wealthier you were in Roman society.
