She shows a marked warrior character and, as a bearer of wealth, presides over currency.Daughter of Rhea and Saturn, she is both sister and wife of Jupiter. She was likened to the Hera of the Greeks. Protector of women, she symbolizes marriage when she is represented covered in veils, and she is associated with fertility when she holds its emblem: the pomegranate.The fourth month of the Roman calendar is said to have been named June in his honor by the Romans. Juno was not always seen as the wife of Jupiter. Marcel Renard compared it to Janus, described as Junonius1. The couple Jupiter and Juno were only later created according to the image of the sovereign couple of the Greek pantheon; which made Juno, under the influence of Hera, a goddess of marriage2. Its name evokes the idea of youth and vital force 3: the iuuen- (iuuenis) is the man at the moment when his vital force is at its peak4. Considering the meaning of her name, Juno is originally a goddess of youth5. Jean Haudry sees in her an Indo-European Aurora and more precisely a young Aurora presiding over the duration of life and bringing riches6.ReligionIn accordance with her primary function, Juno as Iuno Sororia, goddess of youth, watched over the initiation of young girls into their role as future mothers and intervened during the transition from the state of child to that of marriageable girl7.Goddess of vital force, she extends her beneficial action to the fruits of the earth. Thus, the month of June which bears his name contains many rites intended to promote the harvests. Bovids and caprids also play an important role in its cult1.Titus Carisius, 46 BC denarius.

T CARISIVSIn the form of Iuno Moneta, she is the extension of an ancient “goddess with a necklace”, distributor of wealth. As a result, it intervenes indirectly in the episode of the attack of the Gauls Senons in -390 during which a ransom is paid. From this time dates the construction of his temple which Ovid attributes to Camille who vowed to build it where the house of Manlius was located who repelled the Gauls. The Romans established a monetary workshop near this temple where she presided over monetary or pre-monetary functions8.She thus presided over the currency. Many Roman coins with the legend Ivno regina represent Juno standing, sometimes veiled, holding a pole and sacrificing with the help of a peg, a peacock sometimes at her feet. Others, on the reverse Ivno victrix, show a victorious Juno, holding a helmet and a spear, with a shield and sometimes a captive at her feet.Later, through assimilation with Hera, she presided over marriages and childbirth. Then, and depending on the case, she was invoked under the names of Juga, Pronuba, Lucine, etc. Juno took particular care of women's adornments and ornaments: this is why, in her paintings, her hair appeared elegantly adjusted.WorshipLavian Juno on the right with her headdress, her javelin and a shield.Juno intervened with Janus to the calends. She facilitated the task of the god who presides over beginnings and passages thanks to the vitality of which she is the depository. Thus the effective collaboration between Janus and Juno, who contribute in parallel to the transition from one month to another, that is to say to the happy birth of the new moon9. This explains why the birthdays of almost all Juno cults fall on the 1st of the respective months: Iuno Sospita on February 1, Iuno Lucina on Mars 1, Iuno Moneta on June 1, Iuno regina on September 1, Iuno Sororia on October 1, and Iuno Couella who was invoked on each first day of the months of the year.Its cult was ancient in central Italy and, in the United form, it had been borrowed by the Etruscans4. Five Latin cities gave its name to a month. Poets make her an important goddess of Gabii. Several glosses show that Tibur's Juno Curitis was an armed protector. The same warrior character is strongly marked in the Juno of Lavinium who wore a goat's skin, a javelin, a small shield and pumps curved to a point on the front. Aggressive, well mounted on a galloping chariot, spear forward, holding out a shield with her left arm, the type of goddess shown in statues and coins is clearly and uniquely warrior4.Julia Soaemias, draped bust.
