In ancient Roman religion, Cunina was a minor goddess of infants. She was responsible for guarding the cradle.
Early Roman religion was concerned with the interlocking and complex interrelations between gods and humans. In this, the Romans maintained a large selection of divinities with unusually specific areas of authority. A sub-group of deities covered the general realm of infancy and childhood.[1] In this area, Cunina was called upon as a general guardian and tutelary deity of the cradle and protectress of the nursery.
