They literally are the same thing. Greek mythology was carried over to Latium, I believe it was, by Aeneas. Eventually, the Latin people began picking up the religion. When Romulus and Remus (or really, just Romulus, since he killed Remus) founded the city of Rome, the Romans (who were mostly the Latins) followed the religion, but all the names in the religion were changed.
For instance:
Zeus -- Jupiter
Poseidon -- Neptune
Hades -- Pluto
Hestia -- Vesta
Hera -- Juno
Demeter -- Ceres
Hephaestus -- Vulcan
Hermes -- Mercury
Ares -- Mars
Aphrodite -- Venus
Athena -- Minerva
Apollo -- Apollo (no name change)
Artemis -- Diana
Dionysus -- Bracchus
The list continues, but those are your majors.
So, really, there is no big difference. Just the names and the people that worshipped them (the Greeks or the Romans)
