The first known Roman goddess who was associated with motherhood was Carmenta. In 369 BC the Romans conquered the town of Veii. They took the statue of Veii's most important goddess Juno and built her a temple in Rome and adopted her as a Roman god. Juno was the goddess associated with birth and she had a motherhood festival on the 1st of March called the Matronalia. The Roman goddess Diana could also be considered the goddess of mothers because of her association with the Greek goddess Artemis who was a patron of motherhood and birth. In the Later Roman Empire other goddess cults became popular, notably Magna Mater and Kybele, who could be considered goddesses of mothers.
