The Roman gods were very similar to the greek gods. In fact, the Romans adopted any kind of god they liked. When they saw the Greek gods they adopted them all, and acted like they had been roman the whole time! All they had to do was tweak their personalities, then give them a new name!
In ancient Roman times, the 12 gods and goddesses of Olympus were called the Dei Consentes (meaning the council of rome). Each Roman god was a little bit more harsh than the original greek god.
