Indigetes [1]
(sc. DII), an epithet given by the Romans to the particular gods of each country, who, having been natives of those countries, were deified by their countrymen after death. Thus Romulus was one of the gods Indigetes of the Romans, and was worshipped under the name Quirinus. AEneas, though not a native of Italy, yet, as founder of the Roman name, was ranked among the gods Indigetes. — Broughton, Biblioth. Hist. Sac. 1, 530.
