the god Alburnus
in the texts
Ad Nationes
A god to whom a shrine was vowed but not senate-approved.
I lie, if they had not at some time decreed that no commander should dedicate a shrine he had vowed in war before the senate had approved it — as happened to Marcus Aemilius, who had vowed it to the god Alburnus.
Adversus Marcionem
Roman god said to have been invented by Metellus.
Otherwise, if man will invent a god in the way that Romulus invented Consus and Tatius Cloacina and Hostilius Pavor and Metellus Alburnus and a certain one before this time Antinous, this will be lawful for others too.
Apologeticum
A god associated with Marcus Aemilius, used to illustrate human judgment over divinity.
Marcus Aemilius knows this, in the matter of his god Alburnus.
