Oscan · deity · Oscan Sabellic religion; pre Roman to Roman Italy · Recorded classification
A goddess of the Agnone list whom reference treatment connects with the Stata Mater worshipped among the Marsi — a figure of standing, staying, or holding firm, invoked in Italy against fire among other things. How much of the Marsian goddess belongs to the Oscan one is not established, and the record keeps the connection as a connection. The element anter is itself read either as part of the name or as the preposition 'between'.
