Nascio
In Roman mythology, Nascio or Natio was one of many goddesses of birth,[1] and a protector of women in labor.[2] According to Cicero in De Natura Deorum (On the Nature of the Gods), she was worshipped particularly in the territory of Ardea.[3] This goddess is considered to be the Roman counterpart of Eileithyia, the Greek goddess of childbirth.[4]
