The governing body of Roman mythology

Roman official religion is presided over by clergy, whose functions include recording and managing religious affairs, supervising the burning of sacrifices, and divining the future by observing birds and examining the internal organs of sacrificial animals. Every memorial day of the gods, there are usually colorful holiday arrangements. With the passage of time, Greek culture is increasingly integrated into Roman culture.

Under the influence of Greek culture, Roman religion gradually improved. Jupiter and Zeus, Juno and Hera, Minerva and Athena began to have the same status and role. Although these gods have some official nature, they are not mandatory. Everyone can determine what they believe according to their own preferences. Perhaps because of this, Roman religion, although seemingly chaotic, provides a sense of stability and security. Whenever a person encounters difficulties or dangers, he will go to God for spiritual comfort. However, with the victory of a series of conquests, Rome's material wealth is increasing, but its moral values are deteriorating. Although Octavian tried to change this situation after he came to power, he vigorously publicized his worship and tried to restore the moral vitality of the Romans through this move, but it had little effect. Only then did the worship of heroes in Roman society gradually become a trend. It spends a lot of emotion and energy to praise a conqueror or leader every year, instead of following religious ceremonies, and gradually creates a precedent for western dictatorship.
