Veiovis

In Roman mythology Veiovis, or Vediovis, was an old Italian or Etruscan deity. He has been identified with Apollo, with the infant Jupiter, and as the Anti-Jupiter (i.e. the Jupiter of the Lower World) as suggested by his name. He had a temple between the two peaks of the Capitoline Hill in Rome, where his statue had a beardless head and carried a bundle of arrows in his right hand. It stood next to a statue of a goat. He was probably a god of expiation and the protector of runaway criminals. Sacrifices were made to him annually on March 7.
