Is it true that ancient Romans openly equated their gods with Greek gods, identifying Jupiter with Zeus and Pluto with Hades?
Unclear. Several reference and peer-reviewed items state that Zeus is the Roman Jupiter and that Pluto is Hades, and one lists Greek-Roman god pairings including Zeus-Jupiter. None addresses the claim's assertion that Romans 'openly equated' their gods with Greek gods as a whole, and the Pluto-Hades and Jupiter-Zeus halves are split across different sources.
