Diúveí Regatureí
Oscan · deity · Oscan Sabellic religion; pre Roman to Roman Italy · Recorded classification
The second Jovian entry on the Agnone Tablet. The reference literature glosses the title as the rain-giving Jupiter, which suits a sanctuary of grain — a god who waters the crop belongs in the Garden of Ceres — but the derivation is a proposal, and a rival explanation connects the word with ruling rather than watering. The record keeps the theonym and marks the gloss as a gloss.
