Tertullian

“ Juventa is their guide on assuming the manly gown, and “bearded Fortune” when they come to full manhood. [20] If I must touch on their nuptial duties, there is Afferenda whose appointed function is to see to the offering of the dower; but fie on you! you have your Mutunus [21] and Tutunus and Pertunda [22] and Subigus and the goddess Prema and likewise Perfica. [23] O spare yourselves, ye impudent gods! No one is present at the secret struggles of married life. Those very few persons who have a wish that way, go away and blush for very shame in the midst of their joy. ”

“ And you are not content to assert the divinity of such as were once known to you, whom you heard and handled, and whose portraits have been painted, and actions recounted, and memory retained amongst you ”

“ I know not what incorporeal, inanimate shadows, and the mere names of things—dividing man’s entire existence amongst separate powers even from his conception in the womb: so that there is a god Consevius, [2] to preside over concubital generation; and Fluviona, [3] to preserve the (growth of the) infant in the womb; after these come Vitumnus and Sentinus, [4] through whom the babe begins to have life and its earliest sensation; then Diespiter, [5] by whose office the child accomplishes its birth. ”
