Link with Mnemosyne
[edit]The article states that the link of Moneta with Mnemosyne is unclear. According to my Latin-Dutch dictionary (Prisma Handwoordenboek, 2nd print 1994) one of the meanings of the verb "monēre" is "herinneren aan" which translates to English as "to remind/remember of". If the name Moneta is derived from the verb "monēre", I do see a clear link with Mnemosyne, the personification of memory. However, this is all just speculation on my part and I have no specific background in Roman or Greek language or mythology. Perhaps someone who does have such a background could look into this.

Juno Moneta
[edit]No mention of the geese of the temple of Juno on the Capitol which warned of the attempted infiltration of the Gauls into Rome. Moneta means "to warn". Sceptical-h (talk) 02:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
The scope of meaning that "monere" has is "to remind, advise, warn, teach, rebuke, punish" according to all Latin dictionaries, and according to Cicero . Moneta is a surname of the goddess Juno at whose temple coins were stamped. Is there a reference for the geese? that's interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieur Puppy (talk • contribs) 01:20, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
