| Sumario: | Sol, as a deity, represents a constant in the Roman religious sphere from the origins of the city to the official establishment of Christianity. This article demonstrates the persistence and significance of solar worship during the Republican era, challenging the notion of a hiatus in the cult. Through an analysis of literary, archaeological, and numismatic evidence, the study identifies the early geography of the cult in Lavinium and the Circus Maximus, linking it to Rome's Trojan origins. Furthermore, the paper establishes a necessary distinction between the Sabine gentile cult of the gens Aurelia and the public cult of Sol Indiges. Finally, the numismatic analysis illustrates the political evolution of the deity, shifting from a state symbol to a tool for personal propaganda during the crisis of the Republic, thus anticipating Imperial solar theology. |
