From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Roman mythology, Volturnus was a god of the Tiber, and may have been the god of all rivers.[1] He had his own minor flamen, a high priest, the Flamen Volturnalis.[2] His festival, Volturnalia, was held on August 27.[3]

Transcription

Culture

Although he was originally an Etruscan god, his worship spread to Rome, and appears to have replaced or coincided with the Roman god Tiber.[4][2]

History

Although originally popular enough to receive his own Flamen, he vanished into obscurity around the time of the late Roman Republic.[5]

Appearance

Volturnus was a man, who had long blonde hair.[6]

Family

Volturnus had at least two descendants, a daughter named Juturna, a grandchild named Fons. Fons was born of a love affair between Juturna and Janus, and was the god of spring water.[7]

Honours

Volturnus Lake in Antarctica is named after the deity.
