Trigarium on February 27 and March 14, also celebrated for Mars, may have been held at the Trigarium as well, and possibly events for the "ludi tarentini", which became the Saecular Games. The area may, however, have been only a practice field for these events. An underground altar to the divine couple Dis Pater and Proserpina was located in the Tarentum, near or adjacent to the Trigarium. Dis was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Plouton (Latinized as Pluto), who abducted Proserpina (Greek Persephone or Kore "the Maiden") in his chariot to the underworld to become his bride and queen.
90482 Orcus quoted Taaffe as saying that if Vanth "accompanies dead souls from the moment of death to the underworld itself, then of course her face is turned always toward Orcus", a reference to the likely synchronous orbit of Vanth about Orcus. 90482 Orcus 90482 Orcus ( ), provisional designation , is a trans-Neptunian object from the Kuiper belt with a large moon, Vanth. It was discovered on 17 February 2004, by American astronomers Michael Brown of Caltech, Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University. It is probably a dwarf planet. Precovery images taken by the Palomar
