Roman A goddess of destiny or
fate, of that which is necessary; or perhaps merely
the personification of necessity. With the goddess
Fortuna, Necessitas ruled over or influenced the
future of men and women. The two are often
pictured together, with Necessitas, carrying nails
and wedges, walking before Fortuna. Necessitas was
equated with Ananke, the Greek personification of
absolute destiny.
