Roman mythology borrowed heavily from Greece but gave the gods new names and a place at the heart of the state. Jupiter ruled the sky with his wife Juno, Mars governed war, Venus love, Neptune the sea, and Mercury carried messages, while Minerva stood for wisdom. Together they were honored in the Pantheon and in every temple. A vestal tended the sacred fire, and an augur read omens in the flight of birds. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
