'''Minerva''' /məˈnɜːrvə/ (<small>Latin:</small> [mɪˈnɛrwa]; Etruscan: ''Menrva'') is the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, justice, law, victory, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. Minerva is not a patron of violence such as Mars, but of defensive war only. From the second century BC onward, the Ancient Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. Minerva is one of the three Roman deities in the Capitoline Triad, along with Jupiter and Juno. | '''Minerva''' /məˈnɜːrvə/ (<small>Latin:</small> [mɪˈnɛrwa]; Etruscan: ''Menrva'') is the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, justice, law, victory, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy.
