  Di Penates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Di Penates (always invoked in the plural) were strictly Roman deities with no Greek counterpart.
This Roman silver figurine of one of the Penates dates from the third century CE; it was part of a hoard of silver statuettes and coins buried in Mâcon, France after 260 CE and may have come from a sanctuary.
The god wears a mural crown (representing the walls of a city) and holds a libation bowl and cornucopia, indicating his role as guardian of abundance within the household and the city.

 Penates History Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Plautus speaks in Mercator (1.834) of the penates as "gods of the parents" (di penates meum parentum) and distinguishes them from the lar (singular) of the household (familia).
The peculiarity of Rome was that the penates of the city were worshiped both within the city, in a temple on the Velia not far from the Forum (on the site of the later Church of Saints Cosma and Damianus) and in the Latial city of Lavinium.
The aniconic penates worshiped on the Velia acquired human features in the late republic and were often identified with the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux), an identification apparently repudiated by Varro (De lingua Latina 5.58).
