Purpose was to gain benevolence from the gods to ensure the safety of their family and state. Jupiter- King of the gods, ruled with his wife. Juno- Goddess of the sky, Jupiter’s wife. They’re practices were cult worships. They do animal sacrifices and the gods depended on perfectly accurate observance of religious rituals. Pantheon- Temple to all the gods. It burned down twice.
