A groups of twelve Gods called Dii Consentes is especially honored by the Romans: Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Venus, Mars, Mercurius, Neptunus, Volcanus, and Apollo. Their statues stood in the Forum. As there were six male and six female, they may well have been the twelve worshipped at the lectisternium of 217 BC.
