Nascio

In Roman mythology, Natio (Latin: "birth", "nation") was one of many goddesses of birth, and a protector of women in labor.[1] According to Cicero in De Natura Deorum (On the Nature of the Gods), she was worshipped particularly in the territory of Ardea.[2]

For the beetle, see Nascio (genus).
