“Native” Roman Religion Most early Romans were farmers Religion is based on agriculture & the home They did not understand science, instead they believed in forces or spirits These Gods did not have human forms or minds Numen

Early Roman Numen Cardea Goddess over doorways Dis God of the underworld Faunus God of fields and shepherds Janus Two-faced God Bellona Goddess of righteous war Lares God of the household- represented ancestors who protected the family Liber God of fertility Saturn God of agriculture Vesta Goddess of home and hearth

Conclusion Not based on any central belief Mix off fragmented rituals, superstitions, and traditions Collected from a number of sources. Religious faith was not a spiritual experience A contract between mankind and the forces which were believed to control people’s existence and well-being

Conclusion The result was a state cult Outlasts the republic Morphs into Emperor worship Other result was a familial cult head of the family supervised the domestic rituals and prayers in the same way as the elected representatives of the people performed the public ceremonials.
