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.
