Romans, were once settled down near and on the Italian peninsula, and Roman borrowed the Paganic ideals of the Greeks and altered their names and ideals to fit more Roman-esque fashion. Zeus to Jupiter, Ares to Mars, Aphrodite to Venus, etc. etc.
This was of course before Constantine came along and well, made Christianity a Roman Empire's official religion.
