In Roman mythology, Disciplina was a minor deity and the personification of discipline.

She was commonly worshipped by Imperial Roman Soldiers. Her meaning to them was both discipline as in self-control and determination, as well as discipline as in a field of study (soldiering in this case). Her chief virtues were: Frugalis, Severitas and Fidelis. A soldier should be frugal in every way: with money, with energy, with actions. A soldier should be severe: focused, determined, not easily dissuaded, decisive. A soldier should be faithful: to his unit, his army, the officers and the people of Rome.
