Vicus Jugarius
open-in-new
<h2 id="etymology">Etymology</h2> <p><a href="/facts/Latin/pM3Kge85">Latin</a> words associated with <i>jugarius</i> include <i>jugalis</i> ("yoked together") and <i>jugo</i> ("to marry" or "join"). Some words deriving from this Latin root are (in English): "yoke", "join", "juncture", "conjugal" and even "yoga" (from the <a href="/facts/Sanskrit/ychfjhlx">Sanskrit</a> root <i>yuj</i>, meaning "to yoke" or "to unite"). <i>Juga</i>, or <i>Jugalis</i>, is an epithet of the goddess <a href="/facts/Juno_(mythology)/6PvC2hmh">Juno</a> in her aspect as marriage goddess (she was believed to join a couple in matrimony). As <i>Juno Juga</i>—Juno of the Yoke of Holy Matrimony—she had an altar on the Vicus Jugarius (exact location unknown). Although it was believed by the ancients that this gave its name to the street, in reality, it was probably the other way around. </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Church_of_Santa_Maria_della_Consolazione/me4oJzSL">Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Claridge, Amanda (2nd edition, 2010), Rome: An Oxford Archaeological Guide, Oxford University Press, pg 84. <a href="/wiki/Amanda_Claridge" target="_blank">/wiki/Amanda_Claridge</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:2"><p>Robert Burn (1876).
