Juno
Roman Pantheon
Queen of the gods and protector of the Roman state. Goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth. Wife and sister of Jupiter, patron of married women and the Roman matrons.
Juno is the Roman equivalent of Hera, daughter of Saturn and Ops. She became Jupiter's consort and queen of heaven, fiercely protective of marriage and legitimate children.
Juno is queen of the Roman gods and the protector of married women, but she is also a civic goddess. As **Juno Regina** she sat on the Capitol with Jupiter and Minerva. As **Juno Moneta** she kept a temple on the Arx whose name still sits inside the word "money," because the mint later worked nearby. As **Juno Sospita** she came from Lanuvium in goatskin and armed, a savior as much as a wife.
