Tiberino is a figure of Roman mythology, he was a divinity of nature, linked to the Tiber river. According to Roman mythology he was the brother of Fonto, god of springs, and son of Janus and Camese, lady of the waters. His annual feast (the Tiberinalia) was celebrated on December 8 , the anniversary of the foundation of the temple of the god on the Tiber Island and was a purification and propitiatory rite. Horace, recalling an overflow of the river after the death of Caesar, calls Tiberino Ilia's husband or Rhea Silvia, whom he allegedly welcomed into his waters, expelled by Amulius. The cult of Tiberino, traditionally founded by Romulus, had considerable importance in the sacral topography of Rome.
