Luna (Moon) Roman An ancient Italian goddess of the Moon, probably of a lesser rank than the great Roman goddesses, such as Minerva and Juno. Very early in Roman religion, Luna took on the stories and myths of the ancient Greek moon goddess, Selene, and even some of the mythology of the Roman goddess Diana, the huntress. A temple to Luna stood on the Aventine Hill in Rome.
