Fecunditas

Fecunditas, the Roman goddess of fertility, was a matronly figure who was often depicted with children in her arms or standing next to her. She was also sometimes shown holding a cornucopia, a symbol of abundance, or a hasta pura, a ceremonial spear. Nero, the Roman emperor, dedicated a temple to Fecunditas in 63 AD to celebrate the birth of his daughter. This temple was located in the Campus Martius, a large open area in the center of Rome. Fecunditas was a popular goddess among the Romans, who prayed to her for help in conceiving children. She was also associated with the harvest and the growth of crops.
