Money Through the Ages (Part 2).
345 BCE: Origins of the Words Mint and Money. In the centre of Rome a temple was built, dedicated to goddess Juno Moneta. Juno was the goddess of protection and Moneta is derived from the Latin monere, which means ‘to warn or advise’. It is said that Goddess Juno gave warnings or advice on at least a couple of occasions. First, when the Gauls sacked Rome in 390 BCE, Juno’s sacred geese gave Roman commander Marcus Manlius Capitolinus a heads up that the Gauls were coming, allowing him to protect the Capitol. Second, during an earthquake when a voice from the temple advised the Romans to sacrifice a pregnant sow34. From 269 BCE, the Roman mint was located at this temple, and lasted some centuries. The English words ‘mint’ and ‘money’ are derived from Juno Moneta.
