Three of the bosses are 3 of the 4 Cardinal Virtues in classic antiquity (classical era of writing)
*Justice - Iustitia (Latin)
*Temperance - Temperantia (Latin)
* Courage/Strength - Fortitudo (Latin)
The fourth one is Prudence - Prudentia (Latin)
*Prudence refers to wisdom and judgement and may possibly linked to Judgement, making all 4 Cardinal Virtues a part of the Major Arcana in a Tarot deck.
