The Dii Consentes
A sibling set for 12 agents. The twelve principal gods of Roman religion, named as a group in a single surviving verse of the poet Ennius and later organized by the historian Livy into six male-female pairs. Twelve gods, already pre-paired into six teams of two by a Roman historian, for a fleet that wants its reviewer assigned at creation. The Roman counterpart to the Olympians, with barely any names in common.
