Indigitamenta
In ancient Roman religion, the ''indigitamenta'' were lists of deities kept by the College of Pontiffs to assure that the correct divine names were invoked for public prayers. These lists or books probably described the nature of the various deities who might be called on under particular circumstances, with specifics about the sequence of invocation. The earliest ''indigitamenta'', like many other aspects of Roman religion, were attributed to Numa Pompilius, second king of Rome.〔Michael Lipka, ''Roman Gods: A Conceptual Approach'' (Brill, 2009), pp. 69–71, with reference to Arnobius, ''Adversus Nationes'' 2.73.〕
==Sources==
The books of the Pontiffs are known only through scattered passages preserved throughout Latin literature. Varro is assumed to have drawn on direct knowledge of the lists in writing his now-fragmentary theological books, which were used as a reference by the Church Fathers〔In particular, Book 14 of the non-extant ''Antiquitates rerum divinarum''; see Lipka, ''Roman Gods'', pp. 69–70.〕 for their mocking catalogues of minor deities.〔W.R. Johnson, "The Return of Tutunus", ''Arethusa'' (1992) 173–179; William Warde Fowler, ''The Religious Experience of the Roman People'' (London, 1922), p. 163.〕 As William Warde Fowler noted,
the good Fathers tumbled the whole collection about sadly in their search for material for their mockery, having no historical or scientific object in view; with the result that it now resembles the bits of glass in a kaleidoscope, and can no longer be re-arranged on the original Varronian plan.〔Fowler, ''Religious Experience,'' p. 163.〕
Georg Wissowa, however, asserted that Varro's lists were not ''indigitamenta'', but ''di certi'', gods whose function could still be identified with certainty, since by the late Republic some of the most archaic deities of the Roman pantheon were not widely cultivated and understood.〔Georg Wissowa, ''Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics'' (unknown edition), vol. 13, p. 218 (online. ) See also Kurt Latte, ''Roemische Religionsgeschichte'' (Munich, 1960), pp. 44-45.〕 Another likely source for the patristic catalogues is the lost work ''De indigitamentis'' of Granius Flaccus, Varro's contemporary.〔Lactantius, ''Div. inst.'' 1.6.7; Censorinus 3.2; Arnaldo Momigliano, "The Theological Efforts of the Roman Upper Classes in the First Century B.C.", ''Classical Philology'' 79 (1984), p. 210.〕
W.H. Roscher collated the standard modern list of ''indigitamenta'',〔W.H. Roscher, ''Ausführliches Lexikon der griechischen und römischen Mythologie'' (Leipzig: Teubner, 1890–94), vol. 2, pt. 1, pp. 187–233.〕 though other scholars may differ with him on some points.
