Lucus
In ancient Roman religion, a ''lūcus'' (, plural ''lūcī'') is a sacred grove. ''Lucus'' was one of four Latin words meaning in general "forest, woodland, grove" (along with ''nemus'', ''silva'', and ''saltus''), but unlike the others it was primarily used as a religious designation. Servius defines the ''lucus'' as "a large number of trees with a religious significance," as distinguished from the ''silva'', a natural forest, and a ''nemus'', an arboretum that is not consecrated. A ''saltus'' usually implied a wilderness area with varied topographical features. A ''lucus'' was a cultivated place, more like a wooded park than a forest, and might contain an ''aedes'', a building that housed the image of a god, or other landscaped features that facilitated or gave rise to ritual. It has been conjectured, for instance, that the Lupercal, referred to as a "cave," was a small ''lucus'' with an artificial grotto, since archaeology has uncovered no natural cave in the area.
