Roman Pantheon

The Roman Pantheon refers to the collection of gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Rome. It included major deities like Jupiter (the king of the gods), Juno (his wife and protector of women), and Mars (the god of war), among others. Each god had specific roles and was associated with different aspects of life, such as agriculture, love, and the sea. Worship practices involved rituals, temples, and festivals to honor these deities. The Pantheon reflects the Romans' attempt to explain the world around them and their desire for divine favor in daily life and state affairs.
