Roman The earliest Romans,
those living on the hills that would eventually form
the center of the great city and those living in nearby
regions in the 700s and 600s b.c., believed in a large
number of spiritual forces that guided their individual
lives. As Rome grew from a small community to a vast
empire, the culture adopted the beliefs of the many
people who became part of first the kingdom, then
the republic, and finally the empire. This multitude
of personal gods influenced family life throughout
the empire until the coming of Christianity in the
fourth century.
From conception to death, these gods and goddesses
influenced almost every detail of life. People
called upon these deities to protect them, guide them,
and advise them and their loved ones. People prayed
to them to help with the happiest, saddest, and, at
that time, some of the most dangerous times in life,
pregnancy, childhood, and illness.
