The concept of Cupid, the Roman god of love, dates back to ancient Roman mythology, which is believed to have originated around the 3rd century BC. The image of Cupid as a chubby, winged baby shooting arrows of love is a later development that became popular during the Renaissance era in Europe. Today, Cupid remains a popular symbol of love and romance in Western culture.
