However, there were also other means of payment. For instance, farmers would sometimes pay their taxes in the form of food if they did not have enough money. Similarly, barter trade also existed in ancient Rome where goods were exchanged for other goods. Thus the mode of payment was mixed with payments sometimes done in currency and sometimes in kind. With the passage of time, however, use of coins as a mode of payment increased particularly after the conquest of the gold and silver mines of Spain.

The major Roman gods


The Romans adopted much of Greek Mythology into their own. They took most of the Greek gods, gave them Roman names, and then called them their own. Since the Romans had many gods and the Christians believed in just one true God, Christians were often persecuted by Rome. At one point they were told to either worship and sacrifice to the Roman gods or they would be killed.

Romulus and Remus


Early Roman mythology tells the story of how Rome was founded by two twin gods named Romulus and Remus. Romulus and Remus both wished to found a new city. Romulus wanted to find it on Palatine Hill, but Remus disagreed and wanted to find it on Aventine Hill. They had a fight and Romulus killed Remus. Romulus then founded the city of Rome and created the Roman legion.
