Comment on How did Greek or Roman choose their gods besides the big name ones? I mean did they have a god of shoes, god who relieves constapation, or one for there squeaky door?

List of Roman Deities

This includes such high profile gods and goddesses as Devera, who blessed the brooms used to sweep temples, Laverna, goddess of charlatans and theives, Lua, who specifically existed to have weapons captured in war sacrificed to her, *Picus, an Italian god of woodpeckers, or Salus, goddess of specifically the welfare of people living in the city of Rome.

How much more specific and unknown do you want to get? There are plenty of surviving deities from the Roman era who have no surviving function that we know of.
