Rome, the Eternal City, is not just a collection of impressive ruins and tales of grandeur; it is, at its core, a city steeped in the sacred. In the very heart of ancient Rome, every event, ritual, and act of daily life was bound together by an intricate web of religious belief. To understand ancient Rome, one must understand its reverence for the divine, for the gods were at the very center of its existence.
