Fidia

/ˈfɪdiə/ noun

Definition

In Roman culture, a personification of faith or trust as a divine being; the goddess of good faith and honesty.

Etymology

From Latin Fidia or Fides, referring to the Roman goddess. Fidia appears less commonly than Fides but was used in formal religious contexts.

Kelly Says

Romans built temples to Fidia because they understood something modern capitalism often forgets—trust is the actual foundation of all business, law, and society. Faith isn't just religious; it's economic.
