Roman Gods is the first album by The Fleshtones. The album was produced by Richard Mazda and largely recorded at Skyline Studios in New York City in June 1981, with the exception of one track ("The World Has Changed"), which was recorded at RKO Studios in London in February 1981. The record sleeve was designed by lead singer Peter Zaremba.

Trouser Press called Roman Gods a "big leap forward" from the band's debut EP Up-Front, noting that it adds "new personality and passion to the beat".[1]

The song "Shadow-line (to J. Conrad)" was performed by The Fleshtones in the concert film Urgh! A Music War.
