Link with Mnemosyne

The article states that the link of Moneta with Mnemosyne is unclear. According to my Latin-Dutch dictionary (Prisma Handwoordenboek, 2nd print 1994) one of the meanings of the verb "monēre" is "herinneren aan" which translates to English as "to remind/remember of". If the name Moneta is derived from the verb "monēre", I do see a clear link with Mnemosyne, the personification of memory. However, this is all just speculation on my part and I have no specific background in Roman or Greek language or mythology. Perhaps someone who does have such a background could look into this.

Juno Moneta

No mention of the geese of the temple of Juno on the Capitol which warned of the attempted infiltration of the Gauls into Rome. Moneta means "to warn". Sceptical-h (talk) 02:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The scope of meaning that "monere" has is "to remind, advise, warn, teach, rebuke, punish" according to all Latin dictionaries, and according to Cicero . Moneta is a surname of the goddess Juno at whose temple coins were stamped. Is there a reference for the geese? that's interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieur Puppy (talk • contribs) 01:20, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
