Description |
The Furinalia were Roman festivals instituted in honour of Furina, the goddess of robbers among the Romans; they took place on July 25. This goddess had a temple at Rome, and was served by a particular priest, who was one of the fifteen Flamens. Near the temple there was a sacred wood, in which Caius Gracchus was killed. Cicero takes her to be the same as one of the Furies. |
