does not suit with I. Patulcius-Clusius, and I cannot
accept it with confidence at present.

[252] It is due to the good sense and learning of Dr.
Roscher; he had previously, when working on the old
methods, tried to prove that Janus was a "wind-god"
(_Hermes der Windgott_, Leipzig, 1878); but a more
searching inquiry into the Roman evidence, when the
prepossessions had left him which the comparative method
is so likely to produce, brought him to the view I have
explained in outline, which has been adopted in the main
by Wissowa, Aust, and J. B. Carter, as well as by myself
in _R.F._ The last word about so puzzling a deity can of
course never be said; but if we indulge in speculations
about him we must use the Roman evidence with adequate
knowledge of the criticism it needs.

[253] This difference between Zeus and Jupiter has been
pointed out by Wissowa, _R.K._ p. 100; Jupiter stands
for the heaven even in classical Latin literature, as we
all know.

xvii. 270 and xviii. 365 foll., and in _Folklore_, vol.
xv. 301; xvi. 260 foll.

[256] Macrobius i. 15. 14. In historical times a white
victim, _ovis idulis_, was taken to the Capitol by the
_via sacra_ in procession (Ov. _Fasti_, i. 56. 588).
Festus says that some derived the term _via sacra_ from
this procession (p. 290); and to this Horace may be
alluding in _Ode_ iii. 30. 8, "dum Capitolium Scandet
cum tacita virgine pontifex."

[259] No doubt Jupiter was specially connected with the
oak, as Mr. Cook has shown with great learning in the
paper cited above, note 36; but at Rome he had an
ancient shrine among beeches, and was known as I.
Fagutalis: Varro, _L.L._ v. 152; Paulus 87. For I.
Viminalis, see _R.F._ p. 229.

[261] Aust gives a cut of a coin of the consul Claudius
Marcellus (223 B.C.) dedicating _spolia opima_ in this
little temple, according to the ancient fashion,
supposed to be initiat
