Iuturna

The nymph of a fountain in Latium, famous for its healing qualities, whose water was used in many of the sacrifices. A pond in the Forum, between the temples of Castor and Vesta, was called Lacus Iuturnae. The nymph is said to have been beloved by Iupiter, who rewarded her with immortality and dominion over the waters. Vergil calls her the sister of Turnus. See ad Aen. xii. 139; Varr. L. L. v. 71; Ovid, Fast. i. 463; Arnob. iii. 29.
