Juno
THE QUEEN OF THE ROMAN GODS

Juno was the Queen of the Gods and was married to Jupiter. She was one of the most powerful Goddesses in ancient Rome and the protector of the State, as she would inform Romans about danger in their empire. Roman women, especially married ones, were devoted to her as she was the Goddess of homemaking, marriage, childbirth and motherhood. Juno’s sacred animal was the peacock and she was part of the “Capitoline Triad”, which included three Gods (Jupiter, Minerva and Juno), who the Romans considered patrons of their city. A temple was built in their honor at the Capitoline, which is one of the Seven Hills of Rome associated with eternity.
