This design is inspired by Bellona, she was the Roman goddess of war, long before the identification of Mars with Ares, she was the one to whom soldiers prayed before battle.
Bellona wears a breastplate, helmet, shield, sword, and carries a bloody whip. In art, artists depicted her as a symbol of femininity and strength, linking her to prominent female figures of each period.
His temple was located in the Campus Martius, next to the temple of Apollo.
The priests of the goddess were the Belonarii, who possessed the gift of prophecy. It is believed that they ingested Belladonna seeds, which induced hallucinations, allowing them to make prophetic pronouncements in the goddess's name. They were even able to predict the capture of cities and the flight of enemies.
