The di indigetes ("indigenous gods") were a group of Roman gods, goddesses and spirits not adopted from other mythologies. These numinous beings predated the syncretism of di novensides ("newcomer gods" in Georg Wissowa's terminology).
Most of these are very minor gods, little more than personifications of an abstract quality. Ops, Janus and Quirinus are among the few important di indigetes. Additionally, as most Latin words for abstractions and concepts were feminine, the vast majority of di indigetes are female, and Roman mythology in general has an abundance of goddesses.
List of di indigetes[edit]
| Name | Information | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Abeona | Goddess who protected children the first time they left their parents' home, safeguarding their first steps alone. She is related to Adeona and the Latin prefix ab, meaning "from".[1] | |
| Abundantia | Goddess of abundance, good fortune and prosperity. She was the guardian of the cornucopia and the distributor of food and money. Although few signs of worship and temples of Abundantia have been found in Rome, she appeared frequently in art and coins, most commonly being represented as holding a cornucopia and sheafs of coin, allowing some of the contents to spill to the ground. | |
| Adeona | Goddess who guided children back to their parents' home. She is related to Abeona and the Latin prefix ad, meaning "to".[1] | |
| Aequitas | Also known as Aecetia, this goddess of fair trade and honest merchants personified fairness and balance. Like Abundantia, she held a cornucopia, representing wealth from commerce, but she also held a libra ("balance", "scales"), representing equity and fairness. During the Roman Empire, Aequitas was sometimes depicted as a quality or aspect of the emperor, under the name Aequitas Augusti. |  |
| Aera Cura | Goddess associated with the underworld. See also Aericura, another underworld goddess, of Germano-Celtic origin. | |
| Aeternitas | Dea significans aeternitatem, tempus perpetuum. Signum eium erat phoenix (avis resurgens igne) sive uroborus (serpens mordens caudam eiam). | |
| Africus | God of the southern or southwest wind, originally named Afer ventus ("African wind") because Africa was to the south of Rome. He later became associated with the Greek Anemos (Venti in Latin, meaning "Wind") Lips. | |
