Religions of Ancient Rome
Early Roman religion was based on spirits. The Romans did not build great
mythologies like the Greeks; rather they believed everything had a spirit. These
spirits were thought to influence for good or evil, daily life. The Romans therefore
had to keep them happy through worship and sacrifice. If the rituals and sacrifices
were performed properly the Romans believed the gods would be happy and help
them.
Pagan religions believed in many gods and generally worshipped the earth, sea,
sun, sky and various other elements of nature. The Romans were polytheistic and
much of their lives were spent in a fervent effort to please their gods. This was
because ancient Romans believed that their gods had great influence over their
daily lives and fates. In order to placate the gods, the Romans believed that certain
rituals and rites must be performed in appreciation of the gods works. As the
religion progressed, so too did the rituals, this made it necessary to form
priesthood’s with specific rituals and traditions. In keeping with the Pagan tradition
the Romans had a deep respect for the earth and her cycles. The ancient Roman
religion is one of the better known pagan religions.
Romans believed each God had a specific "field" of expertise. There was a god of
the sun, Apollo, a god of the sea, a god of the sky and many others. As Roman life
had many different aspects there were many different Gods. If a Roman wanted a
good crop he would pray to Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. The most important
of all the spirits was Vesta the goddess of the hearth and home and the center of
Roman family life. Each household had a small shrine dedicated to the household
spirits. The Romans were great copiers. They borrowed many of their gods from
the Greeks, but unlike Greek gods, theirs did not have the same definitely
conceived personality, they were more cold and formal. The Romans lived under
the gods and constantly tried to please them.
What was happening other parts of the world as this time...?
The ancient Romans looked to the heavens for signs of what might happen on Earth.
According to historical documents, an aurora in the shape of horses and soldiers was
said to appear in the sky in 44 BC, foretelling the fall of Julius Caesar. Another celestial
event 114 years later presaged the sack of Jerusalem by Titus Vespasian.
Because auroras, comets, and meteors were omens, the Romans and other ancient
peoples observed the sky fastidiously, recording heavenly observations alongside detailed
accounts of earthly events and military triumphs. Twenty centuries later, those historical
records have become scientific data for researchers such as WHOI Senior Scientist Andy
Solow.
Auroras, or “northern lights,” are caused by eruptions and flares from the sun that stir
up Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. These heavenly fireworks coincide with the
appearance of sunspots on the face of our star. Three centuries of modern observations
have shown that these spots and storms occur in a rhythmic pattern, with the number
of sunspots waxing and waning in an 11-year cycle. But with only 300 years of
observations, scientists can’t say whether this cycle is recent or abiding in the life of a
5-billion-year-old sun.
In the late 1970s, astronomer Richard Stothers of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies analyzed classical writings from 467 BC to 333 AD, particularly Livy’s history of
Rome. He found dates and descriptions of celestial events that sound much like “great
auroras”—northern lights that extend to middle latitudes (including Rome) during
intense periods of solar activity. Stothers uncovered an 11-year cycle of solar activity
at work in ancient times.
