Lots of stuff is written that the Romans basically adopted the Greek gods into their own pantheon because the early Italian civilizations that became the Romans had gods already similar to the Greek gods and went "Hey, their gods are like our gods! Let's put them together with ours."
I think this is a good point. We probably don't really know the prehistory of the Roman gods themselves, because what we do know is after they grafted the stories of the Greek gods onto gods with roman names. Perhaps we do know their names. (I'm pushing my limits on knowledge of early Rome.)
