La religione romana di VI secolo a.C.; dialettica interna ed interazioni con le culture greca e fenicia nelle tradizioni tarquinie e serviane.

In an attempt to assign an identity to the statue of a female deity armed the crowning acroterion of the Roman sanctuary of Fortuna and Mater Matuta in the building phase relevant to the activity of Tarquinius Superbus, the author identifies the compositional scheme of the entire group acroterial as presentation of the Corinthian myth of Ino and Melicertes, which is accompanied by the self-representation of the last ruler of Rome and the female deity of his personal power and protect the entire dynasty of Tarquini, family of Corinthian origin. It is therefore revisited the sources archaeological and literary about the nature of some Greek goddesses of Hesiod and the Homeric tradition in which we can recognize archaic features due to contamination with the Phoenician goddess Astarte, and this interaction is particularly profound for the figures of Astarte and Aphrodite in Corinth that only in the classical age of war and lose the attributes courotrophici to be allocated to different skills, but that in the proof of the Archaic period is a deity who plays a military role to protect the city and the dynasties that they oversee. Aspects eastern recognized to the cult of Aphrodite Fortuna-Roman might, therefore, result from a mediation due to the Greek religious culture rather than a direct contribution of Phoenician merchants in the area of the Forum Boarium. Around the grounds cult residing in the Roman heritage mitopoietico about the last sovereign of Rome and the gods who invest them with royal power, it is assumed that they stem from a double tradition built at the beginning of the fifth century BC when the Senate of Rome and Aristodemus of Cumae are opponents in a public process for the allocation of the legacy of Tarquinius Superbus, the parties would, therefore, used genealogical reconstructions opposed to each other because they refer to different mythical characters that legitimize their requests for allocation of this legacy.
