{{short description|Roman goddess of trust}}{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2017}}Fides (Latin: Fidēs) was the goddess of trust and bona fides (good faith) in Roman paganism.[1][1] She was one of the original virtues to be considered an actual religious divinity.[2]

Temple

Her temple, the Temple of Fides on the Capitoline Hill,[1] was also called the Fides Publica and Fides Publica Populi Romani.[3] Dedicated by Aulus Atilius Calatinus, and restored by M. Aemilius Scaurus, the structure was surrounded by a display of bronze tables of laws and treaties, and was occasionally used for Senate meetings.[3]

Worship and depiction

She was also worshipped under the name Fides Publica Populi Romani ("Public (or Common) Trust of the Roman People").[4] She is represented as a young woman crowned with an olive or laurel wreath,[1] holding in her hand a turtle-dove,[1] fruits or grain,[1] or a military ensign. She wears a white veil.[1]

Traditionally Rome's second king, Numa Pompilius, was said to have instituted a yearly ceremony devoted to Fides Publica in which the major priests (the three flamines maiores—Dialis, Martialis, and Quirinalis) were to be borne to her temple in a covered arched chariot drawn by two horses on 1 October.[5] There they should conduct her services with their heads covered and right hands wrapped up to the fingers to indicate absolute devotion to her and to symbolise trust.[6]
