world mythologies: romanroman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient rome’s legendary origins and religious system, as represented in the literature and visual arts of the romans. the romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. the stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual’s personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or roman state. heroism is an important theme. when the stories illuminate roman religious practices, they are more concerned with ritual, augury, and institutions than with theology or cosmogony. -- source link
