Epilogue The Roman and Greek gods and goddesses provided them with an explanation on how things came to be. Over the years, the myths became more and more entertaining and outrageous.

The Romans also brought into the church their own unique way of architecture. Most churches in Rome resemble those of the “pagan” Romans.
