‘Wealth’—Roman god of the Underworld.
The etymology of his name, ‘wealth,’ reminds
us that the Underworld is not only seen as the
place of the dead, it is also the place where the
riches of the Earth are found. His real name
was a hidden secret, never spoken because folk
were afraid it would attract his attention, and
without the aspect of wealth he was not all that
welcome.
