Extrait du document
Roman Goddess of courage and bravery,
called upon by soldiers in battle. While her origins
appear to be very old, Virtus was often worshiped in
more recent Roman times with Honos, the god of
honor. Military leaders also built temples to Virtus
near the sites of successful battles and conquests.
Virtus appears frequently on Roman coins, wearing a
helmet and carrying a sword.
She eventually took on the characteristics of
Arete, a minor Greek goddess of virtue.
