The Romans were tolerant of other religions within certain boundaries. They didn’t care for monotheism, like Christianity, but they generally were prepared to invite new gods to the panoply. Constantine changed all of that.

That’s probably because everybody’s panoply of gods were derived from the same Indo-European panoply. So one Goddess of agriculture was pretty much like another.
