Decima in Roman tradition
The Roman entry places Decima under the name Decuma and assigns her the sphere of birth. It identifies her as a goddess of birth, but gives no physical form, attributes, parentage or individual myth for her. She has no recorded story as its protagonist.
The Roman entry names Decima among the three Parcae. No recorded account tells how she originated, who her parents were or what duties she performed within that group beyond her connection with birth. It gives no guardian role, cult place, genealogy, symbols or relationships with other figures. In Roman mythology, she is a birth goddess counted among the three Parcae. The form Decima is cross-referenced from Decuma, rather than described separately.
