Fides

the personification of fidelity or faithfulness (Cic. de Off. 3.29). Numa is said to have built a temple to Fides publica, on the Capitol (Dionys. A. R. 2.75), and another was built there in the consulship of M. Aemilius Scaurus, B. C. 115 (Cic. de Nat. Deor. 2.23, 31; 3.18; de Leg. 2.8, 11). She was represented as a matron wearing a wreath of olive or laurel leaves, and carrying in her hand corn ears, or a basket with fruit. (Rasche, Lex Num. 2.1, p. 107.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
