Lautulae

Lautulae are in Roman mythology, the hot springs, the penetration of the Sabines in Rome at the time of Romulus prevented. They were located near a Janus temple “on the western slope of the Capitol on the road that connected the Roman forum with the Caesaris forum ”. The goddess Venus had asked the naiads of the Lautulae for help. They then added sulfur and pitch to the water and did not allow the Sabines to pass through the heat of the water.

The name "Lautulae" does not appear in Ovid, it is known from Varro .
