Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

This forested grove, dedicated to Mefitis, the goddess of fresh and foul waters, is a deeply revered site among the Samnites. Surrounded by springs and natural rock formations, it serves as both a place of worship and a sanctuary for meditation. The grove reflects the Samnites’ spiritual beliefs tied to nature, with rituals held here to honor the goddess and seek protection.

Sun-dappled grove with ancient trees reaching towards the sky, crystalline springs bubbling with clear water, and smooth, moss-covered rocks interspersed among lush greenery, with gentle sunlight filtering through the leaves.
