The Romans practiced many religions in their quest to obtain Pax Deorum throughout the
centuries. The Britons came into contact with the Romans and were exposed to many new ideas
and concepts. Both groups found a way to coexist, which can be seen most obviously in the
religion of the Southwest region of Britain. Gods from both cultures fused together or took on
another new form to emerge in this new hybridized Romano-British culture. Sulis Minerva and
Mercury often appear as they were quite popular with the denizens of the region. Physical
evidence and practices show just how the Southwestern region demonstrated two cultures
coming together in the ancient world.
