Roman the Greeks couldn't expand their territory at all while the Romans had one of the biggest empires ever built, so their gods are clearly better.
The Greeks were a sea-faring people and had little land to live on and little land-based war tactics.
They were much more tribal than the Romans who only sprang up as a superpower because of a few roman families that existed on the hills of Rome and made a goal of conquering more tribes and keeping them under control.
The Romans then were able to excell so far because they would conquer people and then take in their abilities and customs.
For example, the Romans were never good sea-farers and once they conquered Greece they had a reasonably suitable navy.
But the Romans expanded too much and had an extremely poor government system for their situation. It worked perfectly when they were a single city or just Italy, but once they spread out to the rest of Europe and Asia Minor and Africa, they weren't effective and it led massively to it's own destruction and the fall of the Roman Republic.
The Roman Gods were the same as the Greek Gods, since the Romans conquered Greece and took on board their gods for a more centralised belief, although for most of the time of the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire, Rome had hundreds of different cults of religions, which included Judaism and later on Christianity.
Religion wasn't super big for the Romans. They practiced the worship but they never relied upon it as much as the Greeks did.
Personally, I much prefer the Greek names for the gods. They're more original and sound more like names than the Roman versions, if that makes sense.
I'm just imagining the story of the Illiad or the Odyssey with all the gods referred to as their Roman versions. It just doesn't work so well.
And I love that I get to study them too as part of my Classical Civilisation course. :D <3
