Feronian Highlights

Fĕrus means "not cultivated, untamed" "of the field, wood, untamed, not mitigated by any cultivation
which fits the environment of the sanctuaries of Feronia and is very close to rudis, rude, root of the name of Vedic god Rudrá....... Festus's entry on the picus Feronius of Trebula Mutuesca testifies the goddess had also prophetic qualities among the Sabines, as did the picus martius of Tiora Matiena ascribed to the Aborigines........"Juno the Virgin" (Iuno virgo), whom identifies as Feronia................
 the water (lympha) of Feronia, in which "we bathe our face and hands."
