Roman Gods in Scotland
The Romans had many, many gods and assimilated local gods wherever they conquered.

Their original pantheon of 12 gods which included Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and others were copies of Greek gods – Zeus, Hermes and Ares in these 3 cases.
Many other religions and figures were introduced according to local tradition. The Cult of Mithras gained importance as a semi-secret religion practised by the army elite and notable citizens. It was an Eastern religion from what is now Iran.
