SUMMANUS , according to some, an old See also:Sabine or See also:Etruscan deity; the name, however, is Latin, formed by assimilation from sub-minus (cf. mane, Matuta), signifying the See also:god of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time " before the See also:morning." His See also:sphere of See also:influence was the nocturnal heavens, thunderstorms at See also:night being attributed to him, those by See also:day to See also:Jupiter. Summanus had a See also:temple at See also:Rome near the See also:Circus See also:Maximus, dedicated at the time of the invasion of See also:Italy by See also:Pyrrhus, See also:- KING

king of See also:Epirus (278), when a terra-See also:cotta See also:image of the god (or of Jupiter himself) on the See also:pediment of the Capitoline temple was struck by See also:lightning and hurled into the See also:river See also:Tiber. Here See also:sacrifice was offered every See also:year to Summanus on the 20th of See also:June, together with cakes called summanalia baked in the See also:form of a See also:wheel, supposed to be symbolical of the See also:car of the god of the thunderbolt. In See also:Plautus (Bacchides iv. 8, 54) Summanus and the verb summanare are used for the god of thieves and the See also:act of stealing, with obvious reference to Summanus as a god of night, a time favourable to thieves and their business. The later explanation that Summanus is a contraction from Summus Manium (the greatest of the See also:Manes), and that he is to be identified with Dis See also:Pater, is now generally rejected.
