Marica - This article is about a mythological creature. 'Marica' is also an alternative spelling of Maritsa, a river in Bulgaria.
In Roman mythology, Marica was often another name for Fauna. More commonly, however, Marica was a nymph, the mother of Latinus by Faunus (who was also occasionally her son). The sacred forest near Minturnae (cur: Minturno) was dedicated to Marica. A lake nearby was named after her. Virgil VII, 47; Livy XXVII, 37,2
