 The epithet "Bonus", "the Good," is used in Imperial ideology with abstract deities such as "Bona Fortuna" ("Good Fortune"), "Bona Mens" ("Good Thinking" or "Sound Mind"), and "Bona Spes" ("Valid Hope," perhaps to be translated as "Optimism").During the Republic, the epithet may be most prominent with Bona Dea, "the Good Goddess" whose rites were celebrated by women.Bonus Eventus, "Good Outcome", was one of Varro's twelve agricultural deities, and later represented success in general.
