  8. Religion • Romans worshiped many gods. • Believed in “contracts” instead of balance • Similar to the Greek religion. • Curiosity and interest in other gods made the Romans “adopt” gods into their system of higher powers • Emperors were viewed as something of a god. • Romans did NOT like when Jews and Christians worshiped only one god

  9. Government • For many years, government was led by consuls. • Controlled the army, decided on war, and the amount taxes would be, along with other decisions • A Senate was there for the consuls like an “advisory board” • No women were allowed • Generals began to take over government for themselves. • They had complete power when away with their army.
