_Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum_, xiv. No. 2387; L. Preller, _Römische Mythologie_, 3rd Ed., i. 263 _sq._ On Vejovis as the Little Jupiter see Festus, _s.v._ “Vesculi,” p. 379, “_Ve enim syllabam rei parvae praeponebant, unde Veiovem parvum Iovem et vegrandem fabam minutam dicebant_”; also Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 429-448. At Rome the sanctuary of Vejovis was on the saddle between the two peaks of the Capitoline hill (Aulus Gellius, v. 12. 1 _sq._; Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 429 _sq._); thus he appropriately dwelt on the same hill as the Great Jupiter, but lower down the slope. On coins of the Gargilian, Ogulnian and Vergilian houses Vejovis is represented by a youthful beardless head, crowned with oak. See E. Babelon, _Monnaies de la République Romaine_, i. 532, ii. 266, 529. On other Republican coins his head is crowned with laurel. See E. Babelon, _op. cit._ i. 77, 505-508, ii. 6, 8. Circensian games were held at Bovillae in honour of the Julian family, and Tiberius dedicated a chapel to them there. See Tacitus, _Annals_, ii. 41, xv. 23.
Festus, _s.v._ “Caesar,” p. 57, ed. C. O. Müller. Other but less probable explanations of the name are suggested by Aelius Spartianus (_Helius_, ii. 3 _sq._).
As to the Frankish kings see Agathias, _Hist._ i. 3; J. Grimm, _Deutsche Rechtsalterthümer_, pp. 239 _sqq._; _The Golden Bough_, Second Edition, i. 368 _sq._
Dionysius Halicarnasensis, _Antiquit. Roman._ i. 71; Diodorus Siculus, in Eusebius, _Chronic._ bk. i. coll. 287, 289, ed. A. Schoene; Diodorus Siculus, vii. 3a and 4, ed. L. Dindorf; Zonaras, _Annal._ vii. 1; Aurelius Victor, _Origo gentis Romanae_, 18; Ovid, _Metam._ xiv. 616-618; _id._, _Fasti_, iv. 50; Livy, i. 3. 9. The king is called Romulus by Livy, Remulus by Ovid, Aremulus by Aurelius Victor, Amulius by Zonaras, Amulius or Arramulius by Diodorus, and Allodius by Dionysius. A tale of a city submerged in the Alban lake is still current in the neighbourhood. See the English translators’ note to Niebuhr’s _History of Rome_, 3rd Ed., i. 200. Similar stories are told in many lands. See my note on Pausanias, vii. 24. 6.
Pliny, _Nat. Hist._ ii. 140, xxviii. 13 _sq._ Other writers speak only of Numa’s skill in expiating the prodigy or evil omen of thunderbolts. See Livy, i. 20. 7; Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 285-348; Plutarch, _Numa_, 15; Arnobius, _Adversus nationes_, v. 1-4.
