The Romans habitually adopted different ideas, culture, mythology and religions from other cultures and civilisations. This included the assimilation of the gods and goddesses that were worshipped by other nations, especially those from ancient Greek mythology. The Romans identified their own gods and goddesses with those of the Greeks, adapting the myths, legends and stories told about them and importing them into their own culture. The Roman gods and goddesses not adopted from other religions were called di indigetes.
