Domiduca

In Roman mythology, the goddess Domiduca (Adeona) protects children on the way back to their parents' home.

Also, Domiduca and Domiducus were two gods of marriage who were believed to protect the bride on her way to the house of the bridegroom. The names occur as epithets of Jupiter and Juno.

Early Roman Mythology focused on 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, Domiduca was called upon as a general guardian and tutelary deity of children to ensure their safety as they traveled home.
