Fluonia

A surname of the goddess Juno.

The most important period in a woman's life is that of her marriage, and, as we have already remarked, she was believed especially to preside over marriage. Hence she was called Juga or Jugalis [juga], and had a variety of other names, alluding to the various occasions onr which she was invoked by newly-married people, such as, Domiduca, Iterduca, Pronuba, Cinxia, Prema, Pertunda, Fluonia, and Lucina. (The Aeneid by Virgil iv)
