    romans built family shrines to ancestral ghost : Family shrines were built to worship ancestral spirits called "lares." Lares is a collective name to indicate the ancestral spirits that could protect or harm a Roman family, including servants and slaves.

    romans worshiped through rituals in front of city temples: These rituals were made through sacrifices. The sacrifice consisted in the offering of a certain food matter. Grains, grapes, wine and especially animal victims. These sacrifices were made in front of the temples of the city, next to the altar. The part reserved for the gods (liver, lung, heart and some other pieces) was burned on the altar. The flesh was consumed by the sacrificer and his companions in the private worship, and by the body of priests in the sacrifices celebrated in favor of the State.
