SALUS

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 94 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALUS , in
Roman
 
mythology
  the personification of
health
  and prosperity. In 302 B.C. a temple was dedicated to Salus on the Quirinal (
Livy
  x. 1); and in later times public prayers were offered to her on behalf of the emperor and the
Roman
 
people
  at the beginning of the year, in
time
  of sickness, and on the emperor's birthday. In 18o B.C., on the occasion of a plague, vows were made to
Apollo
 ,
Aesculapius
  and Salus (
Livy
  xl. 37). Here the
special
  attribute of the goddess appears to be
health
 ; and in later times she was identified with the
Greek
  goddess of health, Hygieia.
