Roman Mythology (ローマ神話, Rōma Shinwa^?) is the mythology of the ancient Romans. A large part of Roman mythology is derived from Greek mythology and together, they form the foundation of what is known as Classical Mythology.

Principles

This section requires expansion Ancient Roman religion, overwritten with Greek mythology, the Roman Empire, Christianity

There were a number of contemporary belief systems and sub-sets, some more connected to the main mythology than others, which were present around similar times and places (Mithraism being one among them). These included cults whose practices and beliefs were only open to initiates, known as Mysteries.

Background
