In
ancient Roman religion and
myth,
Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon (Latin
luna; cf. English "lunar"). She is often presented as the female complement of the Sun (
Sol) conceived of as a god. Luna is also sometimes represented as an aspect of the Roman triple goddess (
diva triformis ), along with
Proserpina and
Hecate.
Luna is not always a distinct goddess, but sometimes rather an
epithet that specializes a goddess, since both
Diana and
Juno are identified as moon goddesses.
