Venus

The Genetrix (Mother), the divine ancestor of the Roman people through her son Aeneas. While she is the goddess of love and beauty, in Rome she is a force of "Victory" and "Order," the one who binds people together in the harmony of the state. She represents the irresistible attraction that leads to creation, but also the grace and charm that lubricates the gears of social life. She is the blooming of the rose and the victory of the heart over the sword.
