Vesta

Roman goddess of the hearth fire, identified with the Greek Hestia. In these texts she is almost entirely Roman — Livy records that Numa founded the Vestal virgins, an order "originally in Alba", and that the mother of Romulus was a Vestal; Virgil has Hector hand Aeneas "Vesta's ever-bright, inviolate fire" to carry from Troy; Ovid calls her "Trojan goddess Vesta" and counts her among Caesar's gods.
