Pluto

Culture: Ancient Roman   Domain: The underworld, hidden mineral wealth

Pluto, adapted from the Greek epithet Plouton ("the wealthy one"), governs the underworld and the riches hidden within the earth; Roman religion, like Greek, generally treated him with cautious formality rather than warm devotion, reserving direct address for careful, deliberate rites.
