In Roman mythology, Febris ("fever") was the goddess who embodied, but also protected people

from fever and malaria. Febris had three temples in ancient Rome, of which one was located
between the Palatine and Velabrum.[1][2][3][4] She may have originated from the Roman god
Februus. Among her characteristic attributes are "shrewdness" and "honesty", according to
Seneca the Younger's Apocolocyntosis.[5]
