Agenoria is a Roman goddess of activity (actus). Her name is presumably derived from the Latin verb ago, agere, egi, actum, "to do, drive, go." She is named only by St. Augustine, who places her among the deities who are concerned with childhood. She is thus one of the goddesses who endows the child with a developmental capacity, such as walking, singing, reasoning, and learning to count. W.H. Roscher includes Agenoria among the indigitamenta, the list of deities maintained by Roman priests to assure that the correct divinity was invoked for rituals.
The Agenoria was an early steam locomotive built by the Foster, Rastrick and Co partnership of Stourbridge. It first ran on 2 June 1829 along the Kingswinsford Railway which was a three mile long line linking mines in the Shut End area of the Black Country with a canal basin at Ashwood on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal
