👉 Velamentum, in classical Roman mythology and Greek philosophy, refers to a small area of space or field that is often used as a metaphor for a particular entity or group. In this context, it can mean the space within a person's body (such as the abdomen), or it could refer to any part of an organism, such as the heart or lungs. The term was originally associated with the Roman god Velus and his role as guardian of the city of Rome.
