Sharon H in IL Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Reading the "Off the Wall Museum Guides for Kids: Greek & Roman Art", I learned the difference between the lares - the small figurine(s) representing the gods who looked after a Roman household, and the penates - the small figurine(s) representing the gods who looked after the food supply of the household. However, I spotted an error too. It states that Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Nope. He merely legalized it. But because he was known to support it, it spread much more quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
