Holy Matrimonius          (primary religion of the Roman Empire)

A religion of two deities, the Holy Mother Roma and the Holy Father Marius. Mother Roma is the patron of what is classically defined as female or motherly while Father Marius is the patron of what is classicaly defined as male or fatherly. Followers are known as Matrimonians.

Father Marius

War and everything involved
Smithing and manufacturing
The role of the father, husband, and brother
Strength of muscle
Brawn
The legionnaire at war
Justice, retribution, the idea of protectiveness or guarding

Mother Roma

The family and everything involved

One of the most important ideas is balance. Roma and Marius need each other and recognize that they temper and mediate each other from excess. Sometimes the harsh hand is needed, other times the gentle hand. One may be a preferred patron, but all faithful need both.
