Best Answer

Roman temples were built for the gods. Each temple was dedicated to a god or goddess or to two or three related gods/goddesses. There was also the pantheon which was a kind of temple dedicated to all the gods.

Religious rituals were performed at the temples. These varied according to the myths and traditions associated with the god or gods in question. They usually started with sacrifices to honour and pacify the god or gods and which also varied for the same reasons. If the god(s) were not honoured, this could cause their wrath.
