I've read Etruscan~Roman Remains by Leland and his information on Orcus/Dis was prescious little. I was wondering if anyone had any other information on Him?

Thanks and Adieu,
Jacob

Orcus is the Roman God of the Dead, the answer to the Greek Pluto, Dis being a named derived from wealth as Pluto wasn't just Death, he was fertility. Not sure if the Romans carried this on to there version though...
