The Ancient Romans believed that when one died, one was sent to Mercury, the messenger God, where their soul crossed the river Styx, which flowed nine times around the underworld. A coin was placed in the mouth of the ferryman/ Charon for the passage across. The soul would then be judged by Aeneas and Rhadymanthas.
