Carna

A Roman divinity, whose name is probably connected with caro, “flesh,” for she was regarded as the protector of the physical wellbeing of man. Her festival was celebrated on June 1, and was believed to have been instituted by Brutus in the first year of the Republic. Ovid confounds this goddess with Cardea (q.v.). See Macrob. Sat. i. 12.
