  • Ferentina was the patron goddess of the city Ferentinum, Latium. She was protector of the Latin commonwealth. She was also closely associated with the Roman Empire. A grove sacred to the goddess was used as the site of a famous meeting of the leaders of the Latin towns with the last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, at the beginning of his reign. The leading citizen of Aricia, Turnus Herdonius was murdered at the command of Tarquinius, by being drowned in the sacred waters of the grove.
  • Ferentina è un'antica divinità della religione romana, venerata già dai Latini e dagli Ernici come dea dell'acqua e della fertilità.
  • Férentina était, dans la mythologie romaine, la déesse protectrice de la ville de Ferentium (cité située à 75 km au sud de Rome). Elle avait son bois et sa source sacrée près de la ville. Ainsi, Tite-Live nous raconte que Turnus d'Aricie fut noyé dans cette source sous l'ordre de Tarquin le Superbe. Elle possède d'ailleurs un sanctuaire à Aricie. À l'origine, Férentina était, chez les Osques et les Herniques, une dénomination de leur Vénus latine. Assimilé par les Romains, sa fonction s'est transformée en déesse protectrice de la Ligue latine car c'est dans son bois dédié que se tenaient les réunions entre les peuples latins. Elle donna également son nom à une des neuf portes de Rome, que l'on nomme également porte Latine.
