Rome Reborn: The Pantheon Portable Edition
Agathe Thies
The liturgical calendar, the breviary, and the liturgy all needed to be pruned and reformed. Guglielmo Sirleto, Vatican librarian, worked on all these projects. He marked up a printed edition of the Roman breviary, introducing radical cuts and changes into long-standard texts. Here he expunges a passage about why Saint Jerome failed to become pope and calls for the addition of material about his library.
As the newest god of war game showed us, there are many pantheons of gods including, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese etc in addition to the Greek gods seen in the original games. So if the series is making multiple pantheons canon, then I have an interesting theory for the Roman gods.
I think it would be a bit of a coincidence that there would be a nearly identical pantheon to the Greek gods that just happen to live in the same area. I propose the Roman gods are the resurrected Greek gods in the GoW universe. Or perhaps they are the spectres of their physical forms similar how Athena is seen in GoW 3.
After the the destruction Greece suffered from the final war between the Titans and Olympians, the returning gods could have moved west to Rome, starting again in a new land and to influence their culture to become the dominant force in the Mediterranean. This could help to explain the similarities between the Greek and Roman pantheon who are pretty close to identical. The influence of this pantheon would also explain in this universe why Romans had very similar culture, language, architecture etc to Greece.
Ancient Rome however was far more unified compared to its Greek counterparts. In the GoW universe, the reason could be spun as the gods who represented this culture grew to work together more cooperatively. After the pantheons dealings with Kratos, they put aside their petty grievances and came together as a unified pantheon. This allowed the Roman culture to be such a dominant force.
