Juno is a daughter of Saturn, sister and consort of Jupiter, mother of Mars and Vulcan, and one of the most important of the Roman goddesses...

 

She used to have many duties, each with an associated title.

 

Juno is associated with marriage, fertility and all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth....

 

As Juno has all the characteristics of her husband, in so far as they refer to the female sex, she presides over all human affairs...

 

She is one of the 12 Olympians...

 

She is generally pictured like a matron, with a grave and majestic air, sometimes with a sceptre in her hand, and a veil on her head: she is represented also with a spear in her hand, and sometimes with a patera, as if she were about to sacrifice: on some medals she has a peacock at her feet, and sometimes holds the Palladium...

 

Juno's counterpart is the Greek Hera.
