Vejovis is a little-known Italian deity. He was worshiped
in a temple on the Capitol in Rome. The reverse most likely
depicts a statue that was beside the statue of Vejovis in the temple.
This statue may refer to the infancy of Jupiter who was
suckled by the goat Amaltheia on mount Ida.
The caps of the Dioscuri are placed above, because they were
worshipped at Tusculum, from where the Fonteia family originated.
Damaged at edge, on the reverse that is visible!
