The Romans needed help to achieve victory in war, protection against enemies and petty criminals, as well as good harvests and good fortune in life’s undertakings. Through religion, they could foretell the future and receive advice as to the best course of action for future success. Failure to show proper respect to the gods could bring misfortune and disaster. Religion was a constant part of life for the ancient Romans.
