BELLONA
Bellona - in the myths of the ancient Romans, the goddess of war (the name Bellona - from "bellum", "war").

Since the war of 458 BC. a temple was dedicated to her, near which the ceremony of declaring war was held: the head of the collegium of fetial priests threw a spear at a site symbolizing enemy land. From the 1st century BC. Bellona was identified with the goddess Ma, and the cult became orgiastic. At first, Roman citizens were forbidden to participate in it, the servants of Bellona were recruited from outsiders. The priests of Bellona (bellonaria) wore black robes and caps, had double axes. Especially the cult of Bellona was popular in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

An excerpt characterizing Bellona (mythology)
“Yes, and drink,” Nikolai picked up. - Hey, you! Another bottle! he shouted.In 1808, Emperor Alexander traveled to Erfurt for a new meeting with Emperor Napoleon, and in high Petersburg society they talked a lot about the greatness of this solemn meeting.
In 1809, the proximity of the two rulers of the world, as Napoleon and Alexander were called, reached such a point that when Napoleon declared war on Austria that year, the Russian corps went abroad to assist their former enemy Bonaparte against their former ally, the Austrian emperor; to the point that in high society they talked about the possibility of a marriage between Napoleon and one of the sisters of Emperor Alexander. But, in addition to external political considerations, at that time the attention of Russian society with particular vivacity was drawn to the internal transformations that were being carried out at that time in all parts of the state administration.
Life in the meantime real life people with their own essential interests of health, illness, work, recreation, with their own interests of thought, science, poetry, music, love, friendship, hatred, passions, went as always independently and outside of political proximity or enmity with Napoleon Bonaparte, and outside of all possible transformations.
Prince Andrei lived without a break for two years in the countryside. All those enterprises on estates that Pierre started and did not bring to any result, constantly moving from one thing to another, all these enterprises, without showing them to anyone and without noticeable labor, were carried out by Prince Andrei.
He had in the highest degree that practical tenacity that Pierre lacked, which, without scope and effort on his part, gave movement to the matter.
One of his estates of three hundred souls of peasants was listed as free cultivators (this was one of the first examples in Russia), in others corvée was replaced by dues. In Bogucharovo, a learned grandmother was issued to his account to help women in childbirth, and the priest taught the children of peasants and yards to read and write for a salary.
One half of the time Prince Andrei spent in the Bald Mountains with his father and son, who was still with the nannies; the other half of the time in the Bogucharovo monastery, as his father called his village. Despite the indifference he showed to Pierre to all the external events of the world, he diligently followed them, received many books, and to his surprise noticed when fresh people from Petersburg, from the very whirlpool of life, came to him or to his father, that these people, in the knowledge of everything that happens in the external and domestic politics, far behind him, sitting without a break in the village.
In addition to classes on names, except general occupations reading a wide variety of books, Prince Andrei was at that time engaged in a critical analysis of our last two unfortunate campaigns and drawing up a project to change our military charters and regulations.
In the spring of 1809, Prince Andrei went to the Ryazan estates of his son, whom he was the guardian of.
Warmed by the spring sun, he sat in the carriage, looking at the first grass, the first leaves of the birch, and the first puffs of white spring clouds scattered across the bright blue of the sky. He did not think about anything, but looked cheerfully and senselessly around.
(the old form - Duellona) - among the Romans, along with the Dnieper Sabine Nerio (or Neriene), the goddess of war - corresponded to the Greek Enio. Some describe her as a wife, others as a daughter of Mars. Appius Claudius Caecus in 296, during the battle with the Etruscans, vowed to erect a temple to her, which was later built in Rome on the Field of Mars. In this temple, the senate used to give audiences to ambassadors of foreign peoples who did not have the right to enter the city itself, as well as to consuls who claimed a triumphant entry. It is necessary to distinguish from this ancient Italic B. the Asiatic goddess, whose statue, in the time of Sulla, was brought to Rome from Comana in Cappadocia. The priests of this goddess, Bellonarii, in honor of her inflicted wounds on their thighs, back of the head and arms.
