⚕ Apollo Medicus ⚕

Apollo entered Rome as Apollo Medicus, or the Healer, following years of plague and disease that shook the Republican Rome. Up until the creation of the Temple of Apollo Palatinus by Augustus, the Temple to Apollo Medicus, or Sosianus, was the only temple to the God in Rome.

Healing Gods have always been present in Rome, and Italy overall, in rather large numbers: Febris and Minerva took care of disease and hygiene; multiple local Divinities and motherly Goddesses appeared in public baths and at sacred streams.

Apollo became one of many protectors of health in Ancient Rome.

Am I the only one who knew Nico would possibly end up with a son of Apollo, but thought that he would be roman? Now, i'm not talking like Octavia, but what if Nico ended up with a roman son of the sun god who could see the future instead of being good a poetry or music?
