Falacer
or, more fully,
divus pater Falacer, is mentioned by Varro (
de L. L. 5.84, 7.45) as an ancient and forgotten Italian divinity, whom Hartung (
Die Rel. d. Röm ii. p. 9) is inclined to consider to be the same as Jupiter, since
falandum according to Festus, was the Etruscan name for "heaven."
