BellonaIn Roman mythology, the goddess of war; wife or sister of Mars, god of war. During the Third Samnite War between Rome and the Samnites of northern Italy in 296 BC, the Sabine aristocrat Appius Claudius of Rome vowed to dedicate a temple to her. The building was eventually erected in the Campus Martius in 293 BC, near the altar of Mars. |
