Marcus Aurelius, 7 March 161 - 17 March 180 A.D.
|Marcus| |Aurelius|, |Marcus| |Aurelius,| |7| |March| |161| |-| |17| |March| |180| |A.D.|, In Fasti III, Ovid called Minerva the "goddess of a thousand works." She was worshiped throughout Italy, and when she eventually became equated with the Greek goddess Athena, she also became a goddess of battle. Unlike Mars, god of war, she was sometimes portrayed with sword lowered, in sympathy for the recent dead, rather than raised in triumph. In Rome, her bellicose nature was emphasized less than elsewhere. Her worship was also spread throughout the empire; in Britain, for example, she was syncretized with the local goddess Sulis, who was often invoked for restitution for theft.
