Moneta

Cicero
Marcus Manlius Capitolinus
Moneta
Suda

Uncertain. Probably ultimately from Ancient Greek μονήρης (monḗrēs, “solitary, alone, unique”) although frequently conflated with the first etymology since antiquity. Cicero favored a derivation from monēre with reference to legends that a voice from Juno's temple demanded a sacrifice of a pregnant sow during an earthquake and that the sacred geese of the temple warned Marcus Manlius Capitolinus of approaching Gauls in 390 BC. The Byzantine Suda referenced stories that, when the Romans needed money for war with Tarentum and Epirus, Juno's priest had advised that if they conducted themselves with justice then the money would take care of itself. This is now regarded as unlikely, given that Moneta was worshipped at other locations in Italy earlier and only became conflated with Juno once introduced to Rome (cf. evocatio) in the 4th century BC. Other suggested derivations—from Latin mons from the temple's location or from the goddess of memory above because the temple housed Rome's lists of old consuls—have the same problem.

(Roman mythology) Moneta, an epithet of Juno in her role as advisor and patron of the Roman mint, kept at her temple.
