Classical scholarship finds San Omobono as one of the most important areas for the archaeology of archaic and Republican Rome. Keeping this thing in view excavations began in this area at the foot of the Capitoline Hill in 1936.  After a long gap, Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali, with the collaboration of the Università della Calabria and the University of Michigan joined hands in this excavation work that found some eminent archaeologists working  at San Omobono to give a final say on the historical value of this site. According to scholars San Omobono has derived its name from the name of a nearby church.

Nicolò Masturzo’s review of Paolo Brocato and others (ed.) book, Ricerche nell’area dei templi di Fortuna e Mater Matuta (Roma). Ricerche – Collana…..published in BMCR(2018.03.34). shows how eminent scholars are mcarrying misleading views on this San Omobono whose original name according to Indian puranas is Uma-vana.

Classical scholarship has failed to differentiate the geographical situations involved in various narratives of classics; Caesarea is not as same Rome; Magna Mater is not as same as San Omobono; Catherine Monastery is not the same as Corinth; Delphi is not as same as Athens; Attic is not as same as Ithica; and Rome’s ancient identity has been wildly misunderstood by our eminent classical scholars.

Temples of Fortuna and Mater Matuta are completely different from each other;  Sacra di San Omobono was not in Rome; but Temple of Juno was in Rome. Matuta refers to ‘Matruka’ or the ‘Mothers’ ; San identifies the exact place where Catherine Monastery existed in ancient Babylon that identifies both Ophir and Ptolemais. Meaning of Ptolemais as ‘Lotus’ and Ophir as ‘Blue Lotus’ should be understood first. Ulysses arrived in this land of the Blue Lotus where one’s memory regarding home and family disappears. Mgna Mater refers to Mother or ‘Maa Mangala’. Mater means ‘Maa’, the primordial goddess. This deity is as same as Didyma or Duar-vasini or Danda-basini.

Name of ‘San’ can be seen in most of the ancient literature; it refers to a ‘Tree’ called Sanaka’ whose barks then monks used as clothing. It was the ‘Third Heaven’ of the Bible to which Buddhist literature calls Sankisa.

Omobono is a wonderful name that identifies ‘Uma-bana’ or the ‘forest where Uma was residing for meditation purpose’; here ‘bono’ means ‘bana’ or the forest. Map of Eratosthenes identifies the ‘Strabon’ which is the other name for Sita-bana or the forest where Sita, of the Ramayana was staying.

Rome identifies the birthplace of Rama, the God incarnated of the epic the Ramayana; Caesarea was the name of the place of Rama’s mother, Kausalya. Ajodhya is as same as the ancient Troy or Toya of Indian puranas.
