    Bit inaccurate, isn’t it…? No such thing as Greek gods and Roman gods… “Roman” gods are just your plain old Greek gods with fake beards, speaking Latin in a Greek accent, and wearing their togas in the Roman style… Should have used Greco -Roman gods for one door and something else (Egyptian, Babylonian, Norse… take your pick) for the other…

            Early christians in Rome were a lot more polytheistic. Many of the saints are borrowed from Roman gods and today they still provide a polytheistic feel to some christian churches.
