February's Goddess: A Glance into the Ancient Roman New Year with Juno Februtis by Sydney Carter (1903) Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of the ancient Roman world with this image of the goddess Juno Februtis, the Roman deity who presided over the month of February and the bringing in of freshness in preparation for the Roman new year. Depicted in this exquisite print by renowned British artist Sydney Carter, Juno is shown gracefully standing amidst a lush, blooming landscape. With a gentle smile and an air of serenity, she holds a cornucopia, a symbol of abundance, and a branch adorned with the budding leaves of the olive tree, a symbol of peace and prosperity. Juno Februtis, also known as Juno Moneta, was one of the most revered goddesses in the Roman pantheon. She was believed to protect and nurture the Roman people, ensuring their welfare and prosperity. As the goddess of childbirth, she was also invoked for fertility and the safe delivery of babies. The month of February, named after the god Februus, was a time of purification and renewal. Juno's presence during this month was essential, as she oversaw the bringing in of freshness and prepared the way for the Roman new year. This beautiful print serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the ancient Romans and the natural world, and the importance they placed on the cycles of renewal and rebirth. This stunning print, created by Sydney Carter in 1903, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Roman gods and the richness of their mythology. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, mythology, or art.
