Roman god

Roman gods were deities worshiped on the planet 892-IV by the inhabitants of that world's . By the 23rd century, when the planet had attained a technology level equivalent to 20th century Earth, the names of several of the Roman gods had been commercialized and were used to promote sales products. ()
By 2268, a widespread movement, known as the Children of the Son, actively denounced the Roman gods and instead preached a philosophy of peace and brotherhood. The movement was based largely on the teachings of 892-IV's version of a Jesus Christ figure, an entity known as the Son. ()
