<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 6316153, member: 72790&quot;]Ah, the &quot;Household Gods&quot;. Splendid writeup and beautiful coin. These divinities remind me of just how religious the average Roman was, as every morning the Pater Familias would gather the family around the altar, pull up his hood and lead the family (slaves and visitors, too)in a little service honoring these gods. I wonder how many folks would start off their day in a similar manner today with a religious devotion? I think we do the Romans a disservice in not recognizing how significant matters of belief were to them, but their devotion to the Household Gods remind us they were.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
