Lacus Juturnae : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lacus Juturnae The ''Lacus Iuturnae'' — or ''Lacus Juturnae'' or Spring of Juturna — is the name of a formal pool built by the Romans near a spring or well in the Roman Forum.〔Eva Margareta Steinby, "Lacus Iuturnae". De Luca, 1989. ISBN 88-7813-193-8, ISBN 978-88-7813-193-4〕 The pool was part of a shrine dedicated to the water nymph Juturna, and the name ''Lacus Iuturnae'' is also used for the spring and the shrine, both next to the pool.〔Eva Margareta Steinby, "Lacus Iuturnae" in ''Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae''. Edizioni Quasar, 1993. B000TGC41S〕 ==Legends== The shrine marks a place where Roman legend claims the divine twins Castor and Pollux stopped to water their horses while passing through the city, and where they announced Roman victory at the Battle of Lake Regillus, 495 BCE. During the Roman Empire, when another spring in the city had dried up, the Vestal Virgins used this spring to supply water for their religious ceremonies. The water at the ''Lacus Iuturnae'' was thought to have healing properties. The elderly and infirm would go to the spring with offerings in order to secure the assistance of Juturna in curing their malady.〔Scullard, H. H. ''Festivals and Ceremonies of the Roman Republic''. Cornell University Press, 1981. ISBN 0-8014-1402-4〕
