Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn. Every morning, she would open the gates for Apollo to make his daily journey across the sky. She would precede him to prepare the stables to receive the horses, trailing her multicolored veil behind her.
Diana was the Roman equivalent to Artemis. She was the twin sister to Apollo, patron of chaste women, hunters, archers (particularly the Amazons), and also served as goddess of the moon (replacing the Titan, Luna... Selene in Greek)
Cupid was son of Mars and Venus in Roman mythology. As such, he was the patron of young lovers and unrequited love.
Venus was the Roman equivalent to Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love.
Jove was the Roman equivalent to Zeus. Jove is an older name than Jupiter, and Jupiter actually means "Father Jove". He was the head of the Olympian gods, patron of the City of Rome, god of the heavens and thunder and lightning.
Dido was the first Queen and traditional founder of Carthage. She comes into Roman mythology because Aeneas stopped in Carthage before he made his way tot he Italian coast. Dido and Aeneas plan to marry, but a previously scorned suitor prayed to Jupiter to have Aeneas sent away. The pious Aeneas complies with the order and leaves. Dido commits suicide after this.
Juno is the Roman equivalent to Hera and is the queen of the Olympians. She is also the goddess of the sky, marriage, fidelity, women and mothers.
Titan isn't a god, but a generation of gods. The titans were the children of the primordial gods (that is gods who have no parentage, but simply came into existence), and the parents of the Olympians. They are mostly all bound in Tartarus to prevent them from rising up against Zeus and the Olympians.

Does the goddess Minerva like Diana?
The Roman goddesses Minerva and Diana were playmates, along with Proserpine, as young goddesses. They all agreed to be virgin goddesses, except Pluto abducted Proserpine. This similarity between Diana and Minerva may have led to a friendship between them. However, Minerva likes to think things through before acting, as the goddess of wisdom, but Diana likes to jump straight into things, as the goddess of the wild and the hunt. This might have led to the annoyance of the other. Also, there is a debate whether Minerva or Diana was the favorite daughter of Jupiter (most say that it was Minerva), and which one of them was the stronger.
