| | Meditrinalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The festival was so called from medendo, because the Romans then began to drink new wine, which they mixed with old, and that served them instead of physic. |
 | | A shadowy "Meditrina" ("healer") was associated with the festival by the 2nd century grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus, on the basis of which she is asserted to be the Roman goddess of health, longevity and wine in some modern sources. |
