Viggen 95 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 Hello Ursus and welcom on board Mars is my choice, afterall the month i am born is named after him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 For Reference... Roman Mythology My favorite are the Dia Lucrii... the gods of profit =P Actually if I had to pick one, I think it would be Vulcan - God of Fire, Blacksmiths and Craftsmanship. Sort of a working man's deity I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domitianus 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 I would choose Vulcan as well. For a god, he always seemed to be more human than the other major gods... to me at least. Basically the only imperfect major god out there, being lame and whatnot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
journaldan 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 I guess I would go along with your comments re: Vulcan. Plus they have those really cool mind melds. I wonder what the psychology was being the creation of a god that was lame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ursus 6 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Hello Ursus and welcom on board Mars is my choice, afterall the month i am born is named after him! Thanks for the Welcome. :-) Mars is certainly the most Roman of the gods, in my opinion. The Intellectual and artistic side of me prefers Minerva, though. And Mercury is a god with many useful provinces.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pompeius magnus 2 Report post Posted July 15, 2004 Now i have not yet started my study of Roman Mythology, so am not as knowledgable as some others. I would choose the Fortuna, the goddess of luck. If Sulla and Caesar could live by her, it is good enough for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted July 15, 2004 Hard to argue that I suppose. Though I think both men made their own 'luck'. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ursus 6 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 Sulla and Caesar both claimed Venus as a patron (In Caesar's case, as an ancestor). Both men were infamous for their sexual proclivities. Venus, as Venus Felix, was thought a giver of good fortune to her favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bellona Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Argh! This is hard. Of course, Bellona has some interesting rituals attached to her. But I'd have to say Minerva is my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 Venus is my Patron Goddess and my favorite. Though I think the Celtic God Belnus and the Celtic Goddess of horses Epona.......are also wonderful, both adopted by the Romans. Zeke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
