Albunea, also known as the Tiburtine Sibyl, is the Goddess of the sulphur springs at Albulae Aqua, not far from the modern town of Tivoli, known in ancient times as Tibur.
Albunea is connected with both the river and the springs, and whatever the actual derivation of Her name was, She is known as "the White Sibyl".
Albunea had a sacred grove not far from Her springs, and a temple in Tivoli, though which one it is of the temples that remains is debated.
