Denarius with the goddess Roma, AD 170, Rome, Marcus Aurelius In ancient Roman religion Roma was a female deity personifying the city of Rome and, more broadly, the Roman state. She was created and promoted to represent and propagate certain ideas Rome had about itself, and to justify its rule. She was depicted on coins, sculptures and buildings, and in official games and festivals. Images of Roma shared elements with other goddesses, such as the Roman Minerva, her Greek equivalent Athena and various forms of the Greek Tyche who protected Greek city-states; among them Roma holds the dominant position, with a pile of weapons symbolising her conquests and promising protection to the obedient. Her "Amazonian" iconography shows her "manly virtue" (virtus) as the stern mother of a race of warriors, complementing rather than replacing local goddesses.
