In ancient Rome, the counterpart of the Greek goddess Artemis is Diana. Like her Greek counterpart, Diana is associated with the hunt, the moon, and the wilderness. She embodies the ideals of virginity and independence, often depicted with a bow and surrounded by animals. Diana’s worship in Roman culture reflects the values of fertility and protection of nature, symbolizing the important relationship between femininity and the natural world. Over time, she became integrated into various Roman religious practices, retaining her status as a significant deity.
