Meaning & History
In ancient Roman religion, Bubona is thought to have been a goddess of cattle, but she is named only by Saint Augustine. Georg Wissowa thought that a festival of cattle (ludi boum causa) mentioned by Pliny must have been dedicated to Bubona. Those who celebrated the rites were called Bubetii, a title which appears only in Pliny.
