In Roman traditions, Pluto presides over the underworld, known as the Underworld or Hades. He governs the realm of the dead, overseeing the souls of the departed. As the god of the underworld, Pluto is often depicted with symbols of wealth, such as gold and riches, reflecting the belief that the earth’s treasures belong to him. His dual role as both a ruler of the dead and a god of wealth emphasizes the complexities of life and death in Roman mythology.
