MENS

i. e. mind, a personification of mind, worshipped by the Romans. She had a sanctuary on the Capitol, which had been built, according to some, about the time of the battle of lake Trasimenus, b. c. 217, and according to others a century later. The object of her worship was, that the citizens might always be guided by a right and just spirit (Fasti by Ovid).

A festival in honour of Mens was celebrated on the 8th of June.
