ENT_ROM_DEA_CAELESTIS,PER_ROM_IMPERIAL Dea Caelestis ENT_ROM_DEA_CAELESTIS Roman Imperial PER_ROM_IMPERIAL high The 'Celestial Goddess', Roman reception and official form of Carthaginian Tanit ('Tanit face of Baal'), often styled Juno Caelestis. After 146 BCE her cult was Romanized; she became the leading deity of Roman Africa (great temple at Carthage) and was promoted at Rome (notably under Septimius Severus, of African origin, and his dynasty). Associated with the moon, sovereignty, and fertility, sometimes shown riding a lion. This is the Roman cult-form; the underlying deity is the existing ENT_PHO_TANIT, to which it is wired. Discussed by Beard/North/Price. SRC_BEARD_ROMAN_RELIGIONS reviewed
