Salutaris is a title of praise dedicated to the
gods by the Romans on their coins. It is an
epithet assigned to Apollo, as the god of
medicine, on medals of Trebon. Gallus,
Volusianus, Valerian, Gallienus, Postumus; and
indeed, was one of the modes dictated by the
blind spirit of heathen superstition for averting
the plague which, during the reigns of the
above-mentioned princes, raged with more or
less violence throughout the empire.-- See Apollo ;
Moneta ; and also Cybele, Salutaris being
likewise an attribute of MATER DEVM.
