Mens

The founding (dies natalis) of her temple in Rome was celebrated on June 8.

[2][3] A temple on the Capitoline Hill in Rome was vowed to Mens in 217 BC on advice from the Sibylline Books, after the defeat of Lake Trasimene,[4] and was dedicated in 215 BC.

In Latin love elegy, Mens Bona is represented as a guardian against Desire (Cupido) and amorous pursuits.

Propertius celebrated his escape from erotic bondage to his Cynthia by dedicating himself to the shrine of Mens Bona.

[5] Ovid depicted Cupid as leading Mens Bona as a captive in his triumphal parade.
