 Roman A specialized goddess who presided over and protected the sewers of ROME. As Rome became the home to more people, they needed to move more and more significant amounts of waste out of the city. They invoked Cloacina and her power to help them build and maintain the great sewer system to clean the city. The greatest of these sewers was the Cloaca Maxima. People built and dedicated a temple to her in the Roman Forum, an area that grew in prominence in part due to the sewer system there and Cloacina’s protection of that resource.

 

Eventually, Cloacina’s traits merged with those of the goddess VENUS, whom the Romans fashioned after the Greek goddess APHRODITE.
