Alemonia

In ancient Roman religion, the goddess Alemonia or Alemona was responsible for feeding fetuses in utero.

Early Roman religion was concerned with the interlocking and complex interrelations between gods and humans. In this, the Romans maintained a large selection of divinities with unusually specific areas of authority. A sub-group of deities covered the general realm of infancy and childhood. In this area, Alemonia was called upon as a general guardian and tutelary deity to protect the health and safety of the unborn.
