Era aqui que Febo adormecia

Resumo

According to lost roman inscriptions, a legatus provinciae Lusitaniae honoured Sol et Luna at Sintra, near Olisipo, perhaps with a temple over the Ocean’s coast, and ancient written traditions also give us the idea that his initiative could be interpreted as a rivalry between Colonia Scallabitana and Olisipo, at the emperor Augustus’ reign.

Therefore, the actual archaeological research gives us the opportunity to discuss not only the very problematic authenticity of these epigraphic texts but also the real context in what the XVII and XVIII centuries’ authors wrote their stories.
