Roman deity

Jupiter or Mars

A Roman deity is a god or goddess from the ancient Roman religion.

The major deities—Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Neptune, Mercury—lent their names to planets, days of the week, and countless cultural references.

Roman deities often paralleled Greek gods: Jupiter corresponds to Zeus, Venus to Aphrodite.

The temple was dedicated to a Roman deity of war.
