di Indigetes
deity earth Roman single tradition · 1
In ancient Roman religion, the di Indigetes were deities the Romans regarded as indigenous, in contrast to imported deities. Their cults were first established within the sacred boundary of Rome (pomerium). The distinction between indigetes and novensiles as a fundamental way to classify Roman gods is hard to maintain and rejected by many scholars.
