Soranus (Roman god)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Soranus was a Sabine god later adopted by the Roman Empire. He was worshipped on Mt. Soracte which is in Etruria.

The worshippers of Apollo Soranus, after his cult had been subsumed by Apollo were called Hirpi Sorani ("wolves of Soranus"). They were firewalkers.

Soranus was identified with Dis, the Roman god of the underworld, or with Apollo, a Greek god adopted by the Romans and had a female partner, Feronia.
