  Daily Blague: Tacitus
Cum munis sacra profanaque in ignem considerent, solum Mefitis templus stetit ante moenis, loco seu numine defensum.
Notes inform me that Mefitis is the goddess of malaria "whose ravages in the valley of the Po must have been serious in antiquity." (Loeb Classics, NÂș 111)

 Parco Regionale Gallipoli Cognato e Piccole Dolomiti Lucane - Protected Area
In Croccia-Cognato it is possible to see the remains of a great settlement which can date back between the 4th and the 6th centuries B.C., built at 1.149 meters of altitude and defended by 2 km long high walls made of great stone blocks.
From the archaeological finds of the area and of Serra di Vaglio, and from the archaeological material of the 6th century sanctuary of the goddess Mefitis, protectors of the fields and of the animals, it is possible to notice the great uniformity of the buildings in the part of Basilicata called Potentino.
Here it is possible to imagine and to live according to the spirit of the first populations who lived here, which still today seem to be present in the settlements built high in the mountains and on the hills.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.09.29
Stylistic parallels for the clad figures come from the Tanagra and Myrina statuettes, as well as from Capua, the Tiber, and Fregellae.
The nude or seminude figures represent two stylistic origins, one Greek-inspired, following models by Praxiteles or Skopas, and the other more schematic, with parallels from Mondragone, the Mefitis sanctuary at Valle d'Ansanto, the sanctuary of Dea Marica at Garigliano, and Pompeii.
It should further be noticed that all the statuettes were found without heads, probably indicating that the heads were removed as part of the ritual offering.
