Roman A goddess of the Underworld
of ancient Italian origins. Laverna was known as
a goddess to whom thieves, cheats, imposters, and
frauds would pray when they were trying to hide.
They would ask Laverna to make them look innocent
and law abiding. Near a temple to Laverna on the
Aventine Hill grew a grove of trees in which thieves
would hide and ask for her help. She became known
through Roman poets as the goddess of trickery.
