italic goddess of wilderness and liberty
In Etruscan and Sabine religion, Feronia was a goddess associated with wildlife, fertility, health, and abundance. She was also venerated by the Faliscans, and later adopted into ancient Roman religion. As the goddess who granted freedom to slaves or civil rights to the most humble part of society, she was especially honored among plebeians and freedmen. Her festival, the Feroniae, was November 13 during the Ludi Plebeii, in conjunction with Fortuna Primigenia; both were goddesses of Praeneste.
