Furīna

An early Latin goddess, whose name, in the time of Varro, was known to very few (Varr. L. L. v. 3). There was a sacred grove of this goddess beyond the Tiber (in which Gaius Gracchus was slain), and this, with the similitude of the name, led Cicero and others to identify Furian with the Furies (Cic. N. D. iii. 18). The Furinalia were celebrated on the 25th of July.
