Roman Gods and Roman Goddesses

The Romans prayed to hundreds of different gods The Romans prayed to hundreds of different gods. Everyone made sacrifices in the temple or their home to keep the gods happy. Each god looked after one aspect of people’s lives. Other gods important in the home were the family spirits (lares) and store cupboard spirits (penates). The Lararium altar is the sacred place of the home where offerings and prayers were made to the gods everyday. The main Lararium altar was usually in the Atrium -front reception room, near the front door or located near the hearth.
