Roman Calendar - June 8, festival of Mens BonaGoddess of “mind”, “right thinking” and “consciousness”. After the debacle of Lake Trasimene Romans consulted - once again - Sibylline Books. This time they were told to build a temple to Mens Bona on Capitoline Hill. Praetor Titus Otacilius Crassus vowed the temple in 217 BCE and the building was completed two years later. The foundation day of the temple was June 8th.(Roman coin depicting Mens Bona and emperor Pertinax, British Museum)License: The image will be released to you under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. -- source link
