👉 Hephaestus is a Roman god of fire, often depicted as an ancient man in armor with a staff and shield. He is one of the seven Roman deities (as opposed to the three I could think of) and is associated with the burning of coals or fire, particularly incense. He is also known for his role in the cult of Augustus Caesar, who was said to have been burned at the stake by this god as a punishment for his cruelty.
