Sol Invictus (Pagan World)

Sol Invictus, which means Invincible Sun in Latin, is the primary religion of the former Roman World, save for in areas such as Britain, the Balkans, or Asia Minor where large populations of non-Romans immigrated in the following years, or in Egypt, which retained its own different religion. Sol Invictus first arose in the second century AD, where the new worship of the god Sol, often called Invictus, arose. In 274 Sol Invictus became the official sun god. In the fourth century, Sol Invictus was risen to the position of the supreme god of Rome, and the religion was standardized throughout the Empire.
