| | Roman Mythology |
| | The roman mythology is the combination of the beliefs, the rituals, and the observances of supernatural occurences by the ancient Romans from early periods until Christianity finally completely replaced the native religions of the Roman Empire. | | | The religion of the early Romans was so changed by the addition of numerous and conflicting beliefs in later times, and by the assimilation of a vast amount of Greek mythology, that it cannot be ever reconstructed precisely. | | | This was because of the extensive changes in the religion before the literary tradition began. |

| | Roman authorities were tolerant of other religions if they didn't threaten public order or Roman control. | | | At their core, however, lay the state religion, which was the state-recognised and prescribed worship of traditional gods (like Jupiter and Mars), of the emperor (generally only when deceased), and of certain members of the imperial family ('the imperial cult'). | | | Religious practices and beliefs within the Roman empire were diverse, and varied between regions and individuals. |

| | By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the Catasterismi of Eratosthenes completed the mythologization of the stars. | | | The influence of both the Greek and Roman cultures may be plainly seen; the myths behind the constellations date back to ancient Greece, but we use their Latin names. | | | The constellations as we know them today are undoubtedly very different from those first few--our night sky is a compendium of images from a number of different societies, both ancient and modern. |
