In Roman mythology, Orbona was the goddess who granted new children to parents who had become childless. She was also the goddess of children, especially orphans. Early Roman Mythology focused on 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.

  • Orbona es, en la mitología romana, una diosa de la fertilidad, que era invocada por las parejas que querían tener hijos por primera vez y por aquellas que querían tener más; era además diosa de los infantes, en especial de los huérfanos.
  • Orbona est une déesse de la Rome antique. Gaffiot la donne comme « déesse de l'orphelinage [invoquée contre l'orphelinage] ». Des témoignages de Cicéron, de Pline l'Ancien, de Tertullien, de saint Cyprien et d' Arnobe, le plus clair est celui d'Arnobe : « in tutela sunt Orbonae orbati liberis parentes » (« les parents qui ont perdu des enfants sont sous la protection d'Orbona). »
