The name is derived from the Latin language Latin via Italian language Italian for setting , meaning sunset , and appeared by that name in the traditional compass rose on the Mediterranean Sea nautical charts since the Middle Ages. Regional variations include the Catalan language Catalan ponent and the Spanish language Spanish poniente , which is the name for the warm and dry westerly breeze that emanates from the Straits of Gibraltar along the west Mediterranean coast.

Roman myth rustic In Roman mythology , Flora was a goddess of flowers and the season of spring season spring . While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddess es, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime. Her festival, the Floralia , was held between April 28 and May 3 and symbolized the renewal of the cycle of life, drinking, and flowers. The festival was first instituted in 240 B.C.E but on the advice of the Sibylline books she was given another temple in 238 B.C.E. Her Greek mythology Greek equivalent was Chloris , who was a nymph and not a goddess at all. Flora was married to Anemoi Favonius , the wind god, and her companion was Hercules . Her name is derived from the Latin word flos which means flower. In modern English, Flora also means the plants of a particular region or period. ref http dictionary.reference.com browse flora Dictionary.reference.com ref Flora achieved more prominence in the neo pagan revival of Antiquity among Renaissance humanism humanists than she had ever enjoyed in ancient Rome.
