古羅馬成年禮

She was the tutelar or guardian goddess of young men and particularly worshipped during the period when they approached manhood at the age of seventeen years old when they assumed the privileges and responsibilities of a young man.

Juventas 是年輕男子的守護女神，在青年人臨近成年 （羅馬人認為男子的成人式在17歲被舉辦） 并能夠承擔權利和義務時，她特別受到人們的敬仰和崇拜。

The most famous ritual related to the assumption of the toga virilis. The first wearing of the toga virilis was part of the celebrations on reaching maturity. According to Roman Law only male Roman citizens were allowed to wear the toga virilis upon reaching the age of political majority (seventeen). Wealthy, noble young men who were the sons of senators were allowed to wear a toga bordered with purple, called the toga praetexta from the age of fourteen until they were seventeen years of age. At the age of 17 all male Roman citizens wore the pure white toga virilis.

最著名的成年儀式(ritual)和穿上 toga virilis 有關。第一次穿 toga virilis 是成年禮的一部分。根據當時的羅馬法，只有男性羅馬居民可以在17歲后（可以參政議政的年齡）才能穿 toga virilis。議員之子（通常是富有人家或是貴族人家之子）在14～17歲時，才能穿鑲紫邊的 toga praetexta。17歲時，所有羅馬男性公民都要穿純白的 toga virilis。

The temple to Juventas was destroyed by fire in 16 BC. and rebuilt by the Emperor Augustus.
