At least, the Wikipedia description of Virtus states that the traits personified by the deity Virtus were “all perceived as masculine”:

“Virtus (Classical Latin: [ˈwɪrtuːs̠]) was a specific virtue in ancient Rome that carried connotations of valor, masculinity, excellence, courage, character, and worth, all perceived as masculine strengths. It was thus a frequently stated virtue of Roman emperors, and was personified as the deity Virtus.”

Although I couldn’t help but notice that the statuette they show of Virtus would also probably be banned in that Texas school district:
