 | | Bona Dea was a religion for the common woman, shown here in the limited assistance from the Vestal Virgins and in the exclusion of participation of men. | | | Bona Dea’s temple was not the only place of worship. | | | Through participation and worship of the cult of Bona Dea, women focused on a female culture of resistance and stepped out from under the rule of the traditional male role, into a ceremonial world led by women. |

| | Bona Dea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In Roman mythology, Bona Dea ("the good goddess") was a goddess of fertility, healing, virginity and women. | | | There was a temple to Bona Dea on the Aventine Hill. | | | It was an entirely female affair; even paintings or drawings of men or male animals were forbidden, along with the words "wine" and "myrtle" because Bona Dea had once been beaten by her father with a myrtle stick after she got drunk. |
