Roman Deities

Roman Deities

Below you will observe eighteen drawings of an assortment of Roman Deities. They come from the book The Costume of the Ancients by Thomas Pope, which was published in 1875. Unlike the Greeks with their Mount Olympus, Roman deities weren’t confined to a single location. They were everywhere, influencing every aspect of life. From Jupiter’s thunderous pronouncements in the sky to Vesta’s watchful presence over the family hearth, Romans felt constantly surrounded by the divine. Whether seeking victory in battle or a bountiful harvest, Romans looked to their deities for guidance and favor. Here you’ll find illustrations of Apollo, Mercury, Ceres, and several more. If you find these images helpful, be sure to visit the pages to find more Roman Gods and Roman Myths. Enjoy!
