Cuba (mythology)

In ancient Roman religion, Cuba was a goddess of infants.

Early 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.^[1] In this area, Cuba was called upon as a general guardian and tutelary deity of infants and was invoked by mothers trying to make their babies sleep.
