Juga

or JUGA'LIS, that is, the goddess of marriage, occurs as a surname of Juno, in the same sense as the Greek ζυγία. She had a temple under this name in the forum at Rome, below the capitol, and the street which there took its commencement was called vicus Jugarius. (August. dei, iv. Dei, 4.8, 11, 6.9; Festus, p. 104, ed. Müller.)
