Lua (goddess)

Last updated

Lua was a Roman goddess to whom soldiers sacrificed the captured weapons of enemy combatants. [1] [2] She is sometimes referred to as "Lua Mater" or "Lua Saturni", the latter of which makes her a consort of Saturn. [1] It may be that Lua was merely an alternative name for Ops. [3]
