Editing Inuus (section)

==Castrum Inui==
Servius's note on Inuus is prompted by the mention of ''Castrum Inui'' at ''[[Aeneid]]'' 6.775:<ref>A.J. Boyle and R.D. Woodard, ''Ovid: Fasti'' (Penguin Books, 2000), p. 91.</ref>

{{quote|This is one and the same as the town (''[[civitas]]'') in Italy which is called New Fort ''(Castrum Novum)''. [[Vergil]] says 'Fort Inuus' for the place, that is, 'Fort [[Pan (god)|Pan]]', who has a [[cult (religion)|cult]] there. He is called Inuus, however, in [[Latin]], Πάν ''(Pan)'' in [[ancient Greek language|Greek]]; also Ἐφιάλτης ([[Aloadae|Ephialtes]]), in Latin [[Incubus]]; likewise Faunus, and Fatuus, Fatuclus. He is called Inuus, however, from going around having sex everywhere with all the animals, hence he is also called Incubus.<ref>Servius, note on ''Aeneid'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Serv.+A.+6.775&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0053  6.775]: ''una est in Italia civitas, quae castrum novum dicitur: de hac autem ait 'castrum Inui', id est Panos, qui illic colitur. Inuus autem latine appellatur, Graece: item Graece, latine Incubo: idem Faunus, idem Fatuus, Fatuclus. dicitur autem Inuus ab ineundo passim cum omnibus animalibus, unde et Incubo dicitur.''</ref>}}

Castrum Novum is most likely [[Giulianova]] on the coast of [[Etruria]], but Servius seems to have erred in thinking that Castrum Inui, on the coast of [[Latium]], was the same town.<ref>[[Robert E.A. Palmer]], ''Roman Religion and Roman Empire'' (University of Pennsylvania, 1974), p. 87.</ref>

Rutilius makes the same identification as Servius but explains that there was a stone carving of Inuus over the gate of the town. This image, worn by time, showed horns on its "pastoral forehead", but the ancient name was no longer legible. Rutilius is noncommittal about its identity, "whether Pan exchanged [[Tyrrhenians|Tyrrhenian]] woodlands for [[Mainalo|Maenala]], or whether a resident Faunus enters ''(init)'' his paternal retreats," but proclaims that "as long as he revitalizes the seed of mortals with generous fertility, the god is imagined as more than usually predisposed to sex."<ref>Rutilius, ''De reditu suo'', 225–234; Dennis George, ''The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria'' (London, 1883, 3rd ed.) vol. 1, p. 297, note 7.</ref>
