Extrait du document
(Fides Publica) Roman The goddess or
personification of honor, honesty, and good faith,
particularly as displayed publicly in support of Rome.
People called upon Fides to protect contracts and
commerce, in private lives as well as in affairs of the
government. Her origins in Roman religion were
ancient, and she was held by some to be older than
the great god Jupiter. Fides was pictured as a whitehaired
old woman.
Fides was worshiped at a temple on the Capitoline
Hill in Rome, built in 282 b.c., which was also
a place where the Roman Senate met. Here, too,
leaders of Rome welcomed emissaries from other
countries.
