Sentia

This article is about the goddess. For the automobile, see Mazda Sentia.

In ancient Roman religion, Sentia was the goddess who oversaw children's mental development. It is also said it was the goddess who gave awareness to the young child.

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, Sentia was called upon as a general guardian and tutelary deity of the mental development of children.
