Best Answer

The Romans were tolerant of the religions of conquered peoples. They generally found similarities between the beliefs of the conquered and their own beliefs and incorporated the foreign gods into their own pantheon. The only gods that they abhorred were the Egyptian gods depicted with animal heads.
