Abstract

The Author republishes here some of the Latin inscriptions on bronze votive objects discovered inside the sacred basin at the Bagno Grande, frequented without interruption by Etruscans and Romans. Originally Fons (caldus) was venerated here; in Roman times Fortuna Primigenia was added, as well as Apollo, Aesculapius and Hygia, and Isis. Some of the devotees probably belonged to families descended from the Etruscans (L. Marcius Grabillo, A. Nonius Viscus). Also noteworthy is the case of an actor connected with Sulpicia Triaria, perhaps a woman of the senatorial order.
