Volturnus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is about the Roman river-god. For Vulturnus, the Roman god of the east wind, see Anemoi.

In Roman mythology, Volturnus was a god of the waters, probably derived from a local Samnite cult. His festival, Volturnalia, was held on August 27.

The Volturno river in Campania is named in his honour.
