Summanus - Mythology. Roman God of the night; specifically, the god who sent thunder and lightning during the night, as opposed to Jupiter, who sent these forces of nature during the day. Perhaps one of the many gods of the dead. Summanus was most likely a god of the Sabines who was later brought into the religions of the people of Rome. A temple on the Aventine Hill, or perhaps in the Circus Maximus, was dedicated to him and his feast day was June 20. Little is known of Summanus, and some modern scholars believe he was merely a representation of Jupiter.
