Deities
The Roman Neptunus was chiefly a god of fresh water and of horses, and his identification with the sea-god Poseidon is an interpretatio that made him the sea's lord; the trident, the dolphins, the nymphs and the ocean palace are Greek. What is attested at Rome is the July Neptunalia, the temple by the Circus Flaminius and Neptune of the horses. The planetary attribution is modern entirely: the planet was found in 1846 and given the Roman name afterwards.

- Modern Practice
Neptune is called on for water that has to be found, kept or crossed, for a voyage, and for the horse. His practice is humble plumbing: the spring cleaned, the well covered, the water shared.

- Mythology Summary
Neptune is the Roman god of water - springs, wells and running water before he is the god of the open sea - whose festival, the Neptunalia, fell in the driest heat of July, when the springs had to be kept alive. His temple stood in the Campus Martius by the Circus Flaminius, and as Neptunus Equester he was also Neptune of the horses, a Roman pairing of god and horse older than the Greek sea-god. The trident, the dolphins and the sea-palace came to him with Poseidon.
