- On the Nature of the Gods §1.82 that Savior Juno of yours
Juno Sospita ('the Savior'), worshipped especially at Lanuvium, depicted in a goatskin cloak with spear, shield, and upturned shoes. Cotta contrasts her outlandish image with the Argive and Roman Junos to show that even the gods' forms vary by locality.
