Traditional Roman religion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traditional Roman religion was polytheistic, meaning it recognized and worshiped many gods and goddesses. It was also mostly tolerant, allowing for the incorporation of new gods and beliefs from conquered peoples into the Roman pantheon. While similar in some ways to Greek religion, it had its own distinct features and practices. It was not replaced by Zoroastrianism, which is a religion of Persian origin and was not widely practiced in Rome. It also was not a form of ethical monotheism, which emphasizes the worship of one god and the adherence to certain ethical principles.
