Roman national theology everywhere wants to make important phenomena and properties clear and easy to understand, express them in theological terms and classify them in an orderly way. At first, people and things were separated based on private law, so that we can pray for God or God correctly in the future, so that we can pray for the people correctly. These concepts are abstracted from the outside world, which are extremely simple, sometimes respectable and sometimes ridiculous. Roman theology is generally composed of these concepts. Concepts such as seed sowing (saeturnus) and farming (Ops), land (tellus) and boundary stone (terminus) are all regarded as the oldest and most sacred Roman gods. In the image of Roman gods, perhaps the double-headed janus God is the strangest, and Rome conceived an Italian idol to worship it, which may be the only case. It also embodies the concept that every movement should be called "opening the light" first, and the concept of Roman timid religious feelings can be obvious; Most importantly, this god embodies a profound feeling that the concept of Roman gods must become a group, just as the more personalized gods of the Greeks must be independent. Among the gods worshipped in Rome, perhaps the most deeply rooted one is the patron saint in charge of the family and the warehouse. Worship Vesta and Pernat in public prayer ceremony, and worship Silvane, the god of forest and field, especially Larsen or Lalun in a narrow sense, regularly in family worship, even in old Cato. However, in the ranking of gods, these family gods and domain gods are not in the forefront and are ranked behind; What can best strengthen piety is not the most extensive and universal abstraction, but the simplest and most personalized abstraction. It is inevitable for a religion to abandon all idealism. \ & gt

Roman religion's indifference to ideal factors is combined with the tendency of pursuing reality and emphasizing function, which has been clearly stated in the festival table discussed above. It is the Roman's prayer to the gods to increase their wealth by farming, raising cattle and sheep, sailing and doing business; Dehousse Fidius, Fowles Fortuna and Mercury all come from daily communication. Although it was not seen in ancient festivals, it was worshipped by the Romans for a long time, which is consistent with the above view. Strict frugality and business speculation are deeply rooted in the essence of the Romans, and also penetrate into the deepest core in order not to let their gods reflect. ,?

Ghost domain has nothing to say. The soul of the deceased, the so-called "manes", vaguely continues to exist, haunting its burial place (dii inferi), eating and drinking the sacrifices of strangers. They live alone in the depths of the ground, from underground to the ground, to the holy land, there is no bridge of communication. The hero worship of the Greeks is completely unfamiliar to the Romans, and the myth of fictional creation of the city of Rome is naive and clumsy. Obviously, King romulus became the god of Quirinus. As Titus did in Athens, Numa enjoys the oldest and most respected reputation in Roman legends, but it is not regarded as a god in Rome. P

There are the largest number of priests related to the God of War in civil society: first, the priests who have served for life in the altar of civil society are named "Flamen Mathielis" for offering burnt offerings, and second, the twelve youth groups who perform weapons dances and sing sacrifices to the God of War every March. The merger of Chudi folk society and Palatini folk society increased the number of priests who died in Rome, so another priest named "Quirinus Quirinalis" and another dance company named "Sai Coligny" were added to the God of War.

In addition, there are other public sacrifices. As for their origins, some may be much earlier than the establishment of Rome. In order to hold such sacrifices, priests were hired, such as priests who served the gods of Kamentis and Vulganu, and the gods of ports and rivers, or a group or clan was entrusted to perform sacrifices in the name of people. 12 person combination Fratres arvales may be such a combination. In May, they prayed to Diya to bless the seedlings to grow sturdily. The group was especially revered in the imperial era, but it was doubtful at that time. In addition, there is Titische Bruderschaft, who inherits and holds the special worship of the Sabine people in Rome. In addition, there are 30 "flamingos" specializing in stoves in 30 areas. The aforementioned Wolf God Festival (1upercalia) was dedicated to "Funus" in February. In order to pray for the protection of cattle and sheep, the priests were the Kunstier clan and the Fabian clan. After the Roman mound people entered Rome, Fabian people joined the Kunti clan to celebrate together. This festival is purely a carnival of grazing, playing a wolf jumping around naked, with a goatskin around his waist and a whip in his hand, and hitting anyone he meets. Similarly, in festivals of other clans, people's associations are also considered to be able to send personnel to participate.
