Volturnus


For the University of Maine-developed floating offshore wind turbine, see VolturnUS (floating wind turbine).

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

Although he was origin ∘⊗ Etruscan god, his worship spread to Rome, and appears to have replaced or co-incided with the Roman god Tiber.

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

Volturnus was a man, who had long blonde hair.

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.
