In ancient Rome, one of the most intriguing customs was fate, i.e. the concept of fate, which was closely related to divine will. It was believed that the goddesses of fate, known as the Trinity of Fatum – Nona, Decima and Morta – had control over each person’s life.
Nona spins the thread of life, Decima measures its length, and Morta breaks it at the right moment. Interestingly, Roman citizens often worshiped these goddesses, believing that by doing so they would gain prosperity and protection from inevitable events. This concept of destiny had a major impact on the Roman sense of honor and duty to society. It’s interesting how we still feel the influence of these beliefs in our lives, not only through culture, but also in the way we view fate and our decisions.
