It's really not that hard to set up something very similar to that of Greek Myth and insert Roman aspects.1) The Primordials Begin the Universe. 2) Titans Rule (usually a Golden Age)3) The Deities Take OverNow, there can be a Titanomachy or you could opt to have it where the deities evolve over time. Ouranos/Caelus becomes Chronos/Saturn who, in turn, becomes Zeus/Jupiter. This process might not be straight-forward, with some aspects becoming different and separate deities (and, possibly, the source of strife for the Titanomachy). Jupiter/expy!Jupiter comes from the more Orderly aspects of Chronos and Saturn as he evolves while Zeus/expy!Zeus has the more Chaotic elements. Thus Jupiter and Juno really are happily married and have a divine family of fairly reasonable deities while expy!Zeus never married and had kids who tended to be problematic.This could lead to the other pantheons you mentioned as well. Primordials could split in different ways to create the different pantheons. It's also entirely possible that the influence of Overlapping Planes caused unusual fluctuations: the Feywild, for instance, could have caused some parts of a Primordial to take on aspects of the Fey and thus created the Celtic and Vanir Deities.</blockquote>
