Many religions use the technique of encapsulating another religion to convert people to follow their religion.For instance Christians celebrate December the 25th as the birthday of Jesus Christ, when in factit'shighly unlikely to be that date. The 25th was chosen specifically tocoincidewith a pagan tribal winter festival. The entrails of animals strewn in the trees for the Gods to eat, became the tinsel you put on a christmas tree.So it was with the Romans.
