Roman goddess of war. Bellona was identified with Enyo, the Greek goddess of war. Her original name was Duellona.
Bellona was sometimes described as a sister or wife of Mars (Ares). Whatever her relationship was with Mars, she rode in a chariot with Mars and Discordia (Eris), goddess of strife, during times of war.
Her temple was outside the city gates, in Campus Martius. Her festival was celebrated on June 3.
