_______ is a term that refers to the collection of religious stories of the people inhabiting the region of Latium and its main city, Rome. Gods, goddesses, and heroes are all represented, as well as stories of creation and the origins of Roman culture.

Roman mythology refers to a collection of stories about ancient Rome's origins, religion, and tradition, based on deities and heroes who influenced the creation of Roman culture and society.

Romans took many of its mythology elements from Greeks, so these two mythologies share a lot of similarities (e.g. deities, tales and stories of the creation of the world, etc.).

However, Roman mythology includes different stories about their superheroes and their achievements, which can be found in Roman founding myths, as, for example, Aeneid, Romulus and Remus, and other myths with political or moral themes.

The entire collection of all Roman gods is called the Pantheon. Some of the Roman most famous gods were: Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Pluto, etc.
