Quinquatria, Roman Festival in honour of Minerva, March 19 - March 23. Minerva is the Roman Goddess, and the Greek Goddess with similar attributes is Athena, Patron of Athens. This ancient Goddess is associated with civilization, wisdom, strength, strategy, poetry, weaving, magic, music, crafts, justice, and skills. Her totem is the owl. She is a virgin goddess, Pallas Athena, where she is one of three virgin goddesses along with Artemis and Hestia, known by the Romans as Diana and Vesta. Athena is often depicted wearing a warrior's helmet and holding a spear - protecting her followers.
Minerva/Athena is featured on the great seal of the State of California.
