to fight for hearth and home.

Etymology:

  • At Rome there were altars not only in the temples but also in the streets and in private houses. In a house there were usually two—one in the court, the altar of the Penates; another in the atrium on a small hearth (focus), this was the altar of the Lares. Hence arae focique = the altars and hearths of the Lares and Penates.
