| Description | The paper focuses on the problemmatic nature of the Roman god Quirinus and his origins. Quirinus was included in first Capitoline Triad, but his origin, his purpose and his character are not clear enough. Was Quirinus a romanised god of Roman citizens of Sabine origin? Was he a god of war, a divine protector of state and its citizens? Was he deified Romulus as Livy suggests in his Histories? |
