NEPTUNE
Roman Sea God
Also known as Neptunus
Think Trident, Beard, Sea
As a well-known god of the ocean he is as familiar to us all as fish and chips — or seafood pasta if you are Roman.
He is usually seen striking a Poseidon pose as the Romans basically borrowed him straight from the Greeks. It is possible that he started out as a rather mundane Roman deity of water or freshwater rivers before being upgraded to the Latin version of fearsome sea god Poseidon.
