Detailed explanation-1: -Roman gods and goddesses were named after objects and did not possess a gender, whereas Greek gods were decided by human characteristics and traits. As Greek gods predated Roman gods, Roman mythology would take the Greek deity and assign a Roman object that would fit the description of the Greek god.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Roman Empire was a primarily polytheistic civilization, which meant that people recognized and worshiped multiple gods and goddesses. Despite the presence of monotheistic religions within the empire, such as Judaism and early Christianity, Romans honored multiple deities.
