1. It is likely that the tradition of a shrine to Pudicitia in the Forum Boarium is due to a confusion of this goddess with Fortuna Virgo, who had a chapel there near the temple of Mater Matuta (a birth 4 —goddess), and was, like her, a woman's goddess. young brides dedicated to her their maiden's dress, on marrying, and the mistake was favoured by the unusual circumstance that the image of Fortuna Virgo was veiled. The story preserved by Livy is an attempt to explain the epithet of Pudicitia Plebeia (§ 7). See Wissowa, religion und Kultus der Römer (1912.2), pp. 257, 333.
