Feronia, a goddess, whom Dionysius of Halicarnassus has recorded to have been worshipped by the Sabines, and called by the Greeks ANQHFROS, FILOSTEFAGOS, FERSEFONH. According to Strabo, there stood, at the foor of Mount Soracte, a city called Feronia, where a goddess of the same name was worshipped with peculiar veneration (Eckhel |v| 270). Enfranchised slaves received in her temple the pileus, or cap, which was the sign of liberty. By some mtyhographers, Feronia is regarded as a surname of Juno. Be this as it may, her head appears on a denarius of the Petronia gens, struck by a monetal triumvir of Augustus.
