MAJOR ROMAN DIETIES

These are the more popular Roman gods and goddesses, so I guess these were the cheerleaders and jocks of Mount Olympus High. Wait, does it work that way for gods? Maybe it is becuase of how important their powers were. That would mean Jupiter could have been a band geek. Burn!

Apollo-truthful god of light
Ceres-goddess of agriculture and marriage
Diana-hunter goddess of the moon and fertility
Juno-Queen of the goddesses
Jupiter-Ruler of the gods
Mars-god of war
Mercury-god of trade
Minerva-goddess of wisdom and learning
Neptune-god of the sea
Venus-goddess of love and beauty
Vesta-goddess of fire
Vulcan-god of fire, craftsmen, and blacksmiths
(in my opinion, the coolest of the Roman gods)
