Gaius Vibius Trebonianus Gallus
"Divine Juno – Protector of the Emperor" Juno was the patron deity of Trebonianus Gallus. The epithet Martialis literally means "of Mars," "belonging to Mars," or "warlike," but depictions of Juno Martialis on coins are not martial in nature. The epithet might refer to Juno as the mother of Mars or to the March Juno, whose festival was celebrated on March 7th. It could also be linked to her temple on the Campus Martius, the ancient "Field of Mars" along the Tiber.
Occasionally, Juno is associated with Juno Perusina, as Perugia was the birthplace of Trebonianus Gallus. For this reason, some modern scholars refer to her as Juno Martialis Perusina.
