Extrait du document
Roman God of honor, chivalry, and
justice, particularly as displayed by soldiers. Honos
was often called upon for support in military conflicts,
often in prayers also offered to the goddess Virtus.
Temples were built in his honor by leaders after
successful battles against enemies. One stood in the
city of Pompeii. On coins, Honos was often pictured
as a young man carrying a spear and a cornucopia.
