Mercury

The God of the "Merx" (Merchandise), the swift-footed messenger of the markets and the protector of the merchant. He is the god of the "deal," the one who ensures that trade flows smoothly and that the traveler finds his way on the Roman roads. He represents the quickness of the tongue and the fluidity of the coin. He is the deity of the busy street and the clever negotiation, the one who proves that words can be just as powerful as the legion.
