Aius Locutius

Aius Locutius ( Aius Loquens at Cicéron) is a divinity of the Roman Mythologie.

The etymology returns the two parts of the name of this god ( aius and locutius ) to the act of speech. When the Gaulois went on Rome, one heard a mysterious voice which warned the Romains. Nobody was concerned with it and the Gallic ones occupied the city, but later, after they were driven out, one raised a sanctuary with the unknown god whose voice had warned the Romans of the danger which threatened them.
