Talk:Cultus deorum

On what basis is this the "proper" name for the Roman religion?

Strange name
What a strange name. Why isn't it Cultus deorum romanorum, or Cultus deorum romanus. "The roman thing of the worship of the gods" strikes me as perversly indirect, even by latin standards. Rwflammang (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There are more google results for 'cultus deorum romanorum' than for 'cultus deum romanum', but only a few thousand for each, and I didn't find any definite scholarship on the subject. The former is much more direct, but you know what the Romans were like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.109.115 (talk) 01:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I get no hits searching Google Books for cultus deorum romanum, which is an ungrammatical construction. For the grammatical cultus deorum romanorum, I get a grand two. I don't know what the article is supposed to be about, but I'm pretty sure it's already covered in Religion in ancient Rome or Imperial cult (ancient Rome), and I've redirected it to the latter.
