RO:Cultus deorum Romanorum

The modern practice of the religion of the Romans, the Cultus Deorum Romanorum is an attempt to reconstruct the ancient religion of the Romans as closely as possible. The Cultus Deorum Romanorum, cannot be approached by inserting Roman deity names into Greek religion or any other system, for it is a unique product of the culture that created it. It demands steadfastness, devotion to duty and working in harmony with the eternal gods and with universal order, for the benefit not only of ourselves but also the world around us. With right action and attitudes towards the gods, both the State and the individual will prosper. Yet the cultus deorum involves more than pious action and worldly power; there are also mystery traditions which focus on inner spiritual growth.

Cultus Deorum in Roma Antiqua The Cultus Deorum Romanorum is the pre-Christian religion of Rome. It began as the practices of the farmers of the village of Rome. "I am quite certain that Romulus by instituting auspices, and Numa ritual, laid the foundations of our state, which would never have been able to be so great had not the immortal gods been placated to the utmost extent." -- Cicero "On the Nature of the Gods" Influenced by their Etruscan (and later, Greek) neighbors, the Romans developed a complex state religion that emphasised duty to the gods and serving them through exactly prescribed rituals.
