Lares.
Have a nice day; stay safe.
*********************************
The Lares were lesser deities than the great gods venerated in the official cult, but in reality highly venerated in the context of Roman houses. The Lares (from the Latin lares, "hearth", from the Etruscan lar, "father") represent the protective spirits of the ancestors who watched and protected the gens and the familia.
They are the protective deities of the "familia", of each specific family.

According to our Michaelis Dictionary, the term Lar comes from the place in the house where the fireplace is lit; the fire; the stove, but it gained a sentimental connotation about the home of a person or family, the Christmas ball, homeland, the family or your home .
Yes, they lived here for a very long time.
And I am glad for it.
