	Sancus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman mythology, Sancus (also known as Sangus or Semo Sancus) was the god of loyalty, honesty, and oaths.

		Sancus was said to have one son, the Sabine hero Sabus.

		SEMO SANCUS, an Italian divinity worshipped by the Sabines, Umbrians and Romans, also called Dius Fidius and (perhaps wrongly) identified with the Italian Hercules.
		Sancus is obviously from sancire, meaning one who hallows the acts in which he takes part.
		There was a second chapel of Semo Sancus on the island in the Tiber with an altar, the inscription on which led Christian writers (Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Eusebius) to con-fuse him with Simon Magus, and to infer that the latter was worshipped at Rome as a god.

	Simon Magus
		Justin says further that Simon came to Rome during the reign of the Emperor Claudius and by his magic arts won many followers so that these erected on the island in the Tiber a statue to him as a divinity with the inscription "Simon the Holy God".
		The statue, however, that Justin took for one dedicated to Simon was undoubtedly one of the old Sabine divinity Semo Sancus.
		Statues of this early god with similar inscriptions have been found on the island in the Tiber and elsewhere in Rome.

		As for Feronia, the deity of Soracte appears to have been alternately male and female, and there is the temptation to believe that the worship at Soracte was directed to a pair of deities, perhaps Soranus and Sorania, much in the manner of other local Italian deity pairs.
		Summing up the arguments for the theory that Hirpa was the name of the deity of Rome, hirpus is a word of such rarity that it would not have been widely known among the general populace, one measure of the sacredness of a word being its scarcity in ordinary usage.
