Marica, by Henryk Siemiradzki Lviv National Art Gallery, Ukraine

In Roman mythology, Marica was a nymph, the mother of Latinus.[1] Latinus was fathered by Faunus, who was also occasionally referred to as the son of Marica. The sacred forest near Minturnae was dedicated to Marica.[2][3] A lake nearby was also named after her. Various Roman authors claims that she was a form of Diana or Venus.[4][5]
