Talk:Feretrius

I think the way this text is written causes confusion with Jupiter Juralis. I would propose inserting:

The word feretrius is thought to derive etymologically from ferire (to strike, to slay), or ferrum (iron, and by extension, weapons), or feretrum (a bier, from ferre, to carry, also the rack on which captured weapons were carried during a triumphal procession).

before the phrase: "In this capacity Jupiter was called upon to witness the signing of contracts and marriages."

I would add a reference to the New Pauly
