Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A small shrine to Tiberinus, god of the Tiber River, stands near the water’s edge, where people offer tributes before embarking upriver. This humble structure reflects the local reverence for the river’s life-giving role. Pilgrims and travelers offer sacrifices here to ensure safe passage and protection from floods or other river hazards.
