<jats:p>It is not surprising, given that the <jats:italic>Ab urbe condita</jats:italic> is an important source of information about Roman religious practices, to find frequent mentions of Juno’s shrines or cults in Livy’s work. Yet, we have to ask ourselves to what extent this religious data has been rewritten and recomposed according to the Roman historiographical tradition in order to provide the audience with a particular view of Roman history. A further study allows us to distinguish two kinds of <jats:italic>Junones</jats:italic>: Roman and Italian <jats:italic>Junones</jats:italic> who stood as a protective goddess of Rome, on the one hand, and on the other, <jats:italic>Junones</jats:italic> from the borders of the Roman world, who supported or questioned Rome’s identity and its Empire’s guiding principles in the historical narrative.</jats:p>
