PRUDENTIA
Roman Disciplinary Goddess
Also known as Prudence
Goddess of Looking Before You Leap
She is the deity of Prudence and Self-Control. Prudentia is there to stop you doing anything crazy without thinking it through.
Her best friend and colleague is Goddess of Justice Justitia. In her hands she holds a mirror and a snake. We have no idea why. The snake in particular doesn’t sound prudent at all but rather risky.
Other sources suggest Prudentia has two or three faces — looking to the past, present and future. Shades of Janus there.
With an abundance of caution, we prudently admit we haven’t got a clue. Perhaps the snake knows.
