Fons (Fontus) Roman The god of springs and fountains. Little is known today about this god, though an important festival, the Fontinalia, was celebrated on October 13 in the ancient Roman calendar. Archaeologists have uncovered several temples dedicated to Fons in Rome. Juturna, an ancient Roman goddess of springs and fountains, was Fons' mother, according to some Roman historians.
