Nope, inspired by the concept of Hades. Paganisim=belief in many supreme beings.
Paganisim=Roman

Well, technically, Hell (Hel) came from Norse mythology, though Roman mythology did contribute the concepts of Hades. Likely, the two locations influenced later Christian views of Hell, introducing the "fire-and-brimstone" elements into what had previously been (in the Jewish tradition) somewhat more sedate.
That said, it doesn't make the Christian view of Hell Pagan - just shows that some of the details have been influenced.

Just like all the other Pagan beliefs that were assimilated in to Christianity Hell has a new meaning so doesn't matter to Christians where it came from.
In Greek mythology everyone went to the underworld, ruled by Hades. Just different people were given different treatment depending on how they were in life. There is also some of the Eqyptian afterlife amalgamted in there too. The Egyptian god Set seems to be one of the models for Satan, along with Pan, and later Cerranos.

Since the "concept" of hell came from Jesus Christ Himself and He spoke of it more than about Heaven with clear and decise warning, I'd say to you, it's not Roman mythology and Pagan's don't believe in Hell.

No, because roman's have very little to do with Pagan beliefs. If it came from England where most pagans are found, then it would make you a pagan. Incidentally, Dec,25 is not the day when christ was born. Dec 25 is a pagan holiday, and the pope had christmas celebrated on that day to stick it to the pagans. So if you celebrate christmas on dec 25, you are a pagan.

Well the romans had nothing to do with Paganism apart from the conversion of it to xianity. The Romans invented xianity and the concepts of heaven and hell. Paganism did not have these threats of imaginary places within their belief system, these were introduced by Romans. You should do a llittle research.
