Roman Capitoline triad goddess; came to Rome via Etruscan Menrva during the Tarquinian regal period. The Capitoline triad form (single temple, three cellas) is itself an Etruscan introduction. Distinct from Greek Athena: Roman institutional features include the triad cult-sharing with Iuppiter and Iuno, the Aventine guild-patronage temple (scribae and histriones), the Quinquatrus craft-and-learning frame, the Minerva Capta evocatio from Falerii (241 BCE).
