The Roman were great borrowers of ideas for things ranging from religion to building . The Roman religion borrowed many of their gods from both the Greek and Etruscan religions. Generally, the Roman identified with the Greek gods but renamed them. Thus "Jupiter = Zeus, Juno = Hera, Neptune = Poseidon, Minerva = Athene, Diana = Artemis, Mars = Ares, Mercury = Hermes, and so on. They also borrowed ideas from the Etruscans, including building designs, pottery forms and perhaps even the gladiators. For more information on the relationships between these two cultures, see the links below.
