One important Roman idea about their gods was "do ut des", which is Latin for "I give so that you will give." They sacrafice things to there gods so that they would repay them. They thought of it as a "contract" were each side would provide a service. Romans had many different prayers to the gods. For example they had a prayer to wish bad luck upon another. Most prayers involved a sacrafice. not all sacrafices were animals, but instead they offered things like milk and cheese as a less bloody sacrafice. Animals were mostly sacraficed tho. Animals would have there throats cut and head removed, and after that they disembowled the animal before they sacraficed it. A priest would say prayers over the dead animal. The priest would wear a blindfold so he could see no evil and a flute would play so he could hear no evil.====== There were two types of roman religion, household religion and state. Household was when they worship the gods that they belived would protect there family and household. Roman state religion was very similar to household religion. It was on a larger scale tho. State religion looked after all roman households. Romans were very superstitious. Even legions would refuse to march if there was a bad "omen". []
