Grant Your ultimate assistance to the tired and worn, and, if no one here merits punishment for some noxious crime, may You have mercy on all their souls and allow them to reach Your purifying fountains. Three times they invoke Your name, three times they pour rich incense upon the focal fire, and strew the altar with auspicious boughs in Your honor."'''<ref>Grattius Faliscus Gynegetica 437-42</ref>

He was equated to the Greek ''Haephestus'', God of the fire, forge and volcanos. As a Nature God, he was married to ''Maia'', Goddess of Spring. Equated to ''Haephestus'', he made Iuppiter's thunderbolts and married to ''Venus''. At his festival, the ''Volcanalia'' on August 23, fishes were throuwn into the hearth fires.

As God of conflagration, His temples were built outside the pomerium, on the Campus Martius. But ''Volcanus'' has many aspects, attributes, names and epithets...
