I'm really not getting the "Minerva is scandalous" stuff. She was a part of the Capitoline Triad, being declared as the "the goddess of thousand works" by Ovid, clearly states that she had a good publicity, then why?! One possible thing that I can come up is that Romans respect Mars very much, and Minerva replaced him later in the Capitoline Triad, which might have not pleased the Romans. Since having two goddesses (Juno replaced Quirinus) as major deites was something highly unlikely in Roman Religion. But of course this is just a speculation might have nothing to do with what Terminus was speaking of.
