The relation between town life and trades is stated with his usual insight by von Jhering, _Evolution of the Aryan_, p. 93 foll. [484] See Mueller-Deecke, _Etrusker_, ii. 47; Deecke, _Falisker_, p. 89 foll. [485] Minerva or Menrva is assuredly not Etruscan, though frequently found on Etruscan monuments; see Deecke, _l.c._ p. 89 foll. [486] Fasti Praenestini in _C.I.L._ i.^2 March 19. "Artificum dies (quod Minervae) aedis in Aventino eo die est (dedicata)." This is one of those additional notes in the Fast. Praen., which are believed to have been the work of Verrius Flaccus: see _Roman Festivals_, p. 12. [487] Wissowa, _Gesammelte Abhandlungen_, p. 288. We know the fact from Strabo's account of Massilia, Bk. iv. p. 180. [488] Dion. Hal. iv. 26. See _R.F._ p. 198. [489] Statius, _Silvae_ iii. 1. 60.

Peter in the _Mythological Lexicon_; Wissowa, _R.K._ 206 foll.; _R.F._ p. 161 foll., and 223 foll.; Carter, _op. cit._ p. 50 foll. Dr. Carter seems to me to be too certain of the absence of any idea of luck or chance in the original conception of Fortuna: the word _fors_, so far as we know, never had any other meaning, and the deity Fors must be a personification of an abstraction, like Ops, Fides, and Salus. See Axtell, _Deification of abstract idea in Roman literature_, p. 9, with whom I agree in rejecting the notion of Marquardt and Wissowa that she was a deity of horticulture. He rightly points out that she is not included in the list of agricultural deities in Varro, _R.R._ i. 1. 6. [494] See Aust in his article "Jupiter" in the _Myth. Lex._ p. 689, where the evidence for the contemporaneous origin of the temple on the Alban hill and that on the Capitol is fully stated. In this case excavations have confirmed the Roman tradition, which ascribed the former temple to one or other of the Tarquinii. Jordan, _Roem. Top._ i. pt. 2. p. 9.
