Palatua (339 words)
Her name is the root of "palace", a supreme edifice of grandeur, and we may suggest further that Her connection to the Palatine parallels that of Quirinus to the Quirinal.
In Palatua I feel a harmony of the bucolic arts with those of more urbane nature, just as the Parilia celebrates the pastoral life of shepherds as well as the foundation of the City.
It's intriguing to compare similar aspects in Magna Mater, whose Temple came naturally to grace the Palatine: her epithet of VRBIVM CONDITRIX and her love for and resurrection of the shepherd Attis.
