The summit of the divine in the traditional Roman religion declines through a triad or three key manifestations of the divine and epical. The Triad describes the manifestation of the three main functions of the divine.
Traditional Religion Romana presents a First Triad (Triad or Archaic) and a second triad . The First Triad is composed of Jupiter-Mars-Quirinus, while the second is made up of Jupiter-Juno-Minerva.
The First Triad
the first triad is mentioned in numerous formulas and rituals ( devotio , I went up to the ritual, the consecration of spolia Opima , etc ...) and historically was personified by the three major flamines : the Flamen dialysis, the Flamen Martialis, the Flamen Quirinalis.
- The first function is expressed by the Triad the Authority, made sacred by the theology and symbolism of Jupiter : it assumes no legal power and the sacred and the law.
- The second function is the Force, in a physical sense, but also as a fertilizing force, made sacred by the theology and symbolism of Mars : It declines in activity and in the martial energies of Nature.
- The third function is the civic and social organizations and prosperity , made sacred by the theology and symbolism of Quirino : it will accept the Peace Corps and work.
