metadata.value: The subject of this short study is a legend that describes the transfer of a statue of Juno Regina, the
  patron goddess of Veii, to Rome in 396 BCE, shortly after the fall of the Etruscan city to the Roman forces led
  by Camillus. The legend is commonly interpreted as a depiction of evocatio, a ritual meant to convince the
  tutelary deities of a beseiged city to support the Romans. However, none of the multiple known accounts of
  the statue’s transfer (the principal of which is provided by Livy) present it as a part of a ritual. The article aims
  to examine the validity of such a connection by closely comparing the events of the legend, their timing,
  and their nature to the ancient accounts of evocatio. Following this, a comparison is made to two other
  legends, preserved by Herodotus and Athenaeus (his source is Menodotus), both of which describe miracles
  displayed by the images of gods in response to the attempts to move them. On the basis of this comparison
  it is concluded that the legend of the transfer of Juno Regina is not meant to depict a particular ritual and
  has emerged merely to provide an explanation of the fact that the ancient Etruscan image has found its place
  in Rome. Refs 7.
