For the historical figure and astronomer, sometimes called Tarutius, see Lucius Tarutius Firmanus floruit fl. 86 BC . In Roman mythology , Tarutius or Tarrutius was a wealthy merchant married to Acca Larentia . According to Plutarch s Life of Romulus , the keeper of the Temple of Hercules challenged the hero to a game of dice with Hercules to receive a night with a beautiful woman and a fine spread and the god to provide the temple keeper with a valuable gift if the keeper was successful. As Hercules won the contest, the keeper procured the services of Acca Larentia for the night and provided a fine supper. In the morning, Hercules suggested that she approach the first man she met on leaving the temple. Tarutius was the man whom she met and the couple ended up marrying. Tarutius was a wealthy, older man with a large estate and is often believed to be an Etruscan civilization Etruscan . Tarutius died shortly after their marriage, leaving no children. Acca Larentia inherited the estate and, when she disappeared, her will was found devoting the estate to Rome. This version is considered to be the basis for the full legal entitlement of areas claimed by Rome. Augustine of Hippo referred to the legend in his book City of God book The City of God as an example of how the pagan gods are supposed to have delighted in human sensual pleasures. In St. Augustine s version, Tarutius is held to be a younger man who Acca Larentia meets after spending the night with Hercules in a dream. Tarutius is held to have had kept Acca Larentia as his mistress for many years, leaving his estate to her on his death. She in turn leaves the estate to her in her will which is found when she mysteriously disappears.

She is sometimes identified with the goddess Feronia . Citation needed date February 2010 According to ancient authorities, she was a goddess who relieved men from pain and sorrow, or delivered the Romans and their flocks from angina quinsy . Also she was a protecting goddess of Rome and the keeper of the sacred name of the city, which might not be pronounced lest it should be revealed to her enemies. It was even thought that Angerona itself was this name a late antique source suggests it was Amor, i.e. Roma inverted. Sorania and Hirpa have also been put forward as candidates for the secret name. Modern scholars regard her as a goddess akin to Ops , Acca Larentia , and Dea Dia or as the goddess of the new year and the returning sun according to Mommsen, ab angerendo . Her festival, called Divalia or Angeronalia , was celebrated on the December 21 21st of December .
