More Info The ancient Romans were polytheistic, meaning they believed in more than one god. The ruler of the gods was named Jupiter, and the 'Queen' of gods was Juno. Other important gods were Mars, the god of war, Saturn, the god of agriculture, Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, and Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. Romans worshiped some of these gods in festivals.
