This is the beautiful and powerful goddess, Sulis Minerva. She is my favourite of all the Roman pantheon, for good reason. Her main festival, Quinquatria, took place 19-23 March, and involved processions, games and worship involving guilds of craftsmen and artists.
Love Minerva!
Just keep calling me young! And thank you, ever, for kind words and support. Roll on your next new book.
Wow, Jac, you've been so busy. I want whatever it is that gives such such drive and energy, could it be love of writing? Shine on young lady...
