In some ways Roman religion is a lot like Greek religion, but in other ways it is very different. Like the Greeks, the Romans thought that there were many gods, and that these gods each controlled different parts of the world: storms, the ocean, marriage, blacksmithing, and so forth.

    The Romans were particularly interested in legal contracts, and much less interested in balance than the Greeks. One important Roman idea about their gods was "do ut des", which is Latin for "I give so that you will give." People should sacrifice to the gods, so that the gods would help them in return.
