    Exactly!

    They were actually FAR very FAR from being Monotheistic, even by polytheist standards!

    And since Romans were a Religiously Open people, there were actually temples to Isis and Ra, Anubis etc.. and other Egyptian Gods in Rome! But not limited to Egypt, Romans worshiped Gods from all over the known world.

    Besides, Jupiter is the Latin for the Greek God Zeus, you can't have Jupiter without the other Gods of the Greek Pantheon!

    Many of the Latin versions of the Greek Gods came to the Romans throught the Etruscans who themselves got them from the Greeks and later once in Greece from the Greeks themselves.

    Zeus = Jupiter
    Poseidon = Neptune
    Artemis = Diana
    Aphrodite = Venus
    Hera = Juno
    Athena = Minerva
    Demeter = Ceres
    Hades = Pluto
    Apollon = Apollo
    Ares = Mars
    Eros = Cupid
    Hermes = Mercury
    Hephaestus = Vulcan
    Dionysos = Bachus
    Cronos = Saturn
    Hestia = Vesta
    Ouranos = Uranus

    And then some!
