Lituus is a spiral described by the polar equation r == 1/Sqrt[θ].
As θ approachs infinity, the curve approaches the origin.

The lituus is the locus of the point moving such that the area of a
circular sector remains constant.
The
inverse of Lituus with respect to the center is the

The curve was named by
Roger Cotes in a collection of papers entitled Harmonia Mensurarum (1722), which was published
six years after his death.
Visų šventųjų diena skirta paminėti žmonėms,
po mirties paskelbtiems šventaisiais. Tikima, kad šventieji padeda žmonėms, jei jiems meldžiamasi. Lapkričio 1-ąją liturgine šventųjų atminimo švente paskelbė popiežius
Bonifacas IV VII a. pradžioje.
При Бонифации в 608 году императором
Фокой христианам был передан
языческий Пантеон.
1 ноября 609 года языческий храм был освящён как христианская церковь Святой Марии и Мучеников (Santa Maria ad Martires), потому что византийский император
Фока подарил его папе Бонифацию IV.
С того времени дата 1 ноября у католиков и протестантов празднуется как День всех святых.

popiežiai.
В античности территория Ватикана (лат. ager vaticanus) не была заселена, так как в Древнем Риме
это место считалось святым.
Vaticinia — «
место гаданий».
In this originally uninhabited area (the
ager vaticanus) on the opposite side of the Tiber from the city of Rome, Agrippina the Elder (14 BC – 18 October AD 33) drained the hill and environs and built her gardens in the early 1st century AD. Emperor Caligula (31 August AD 12–24 January AD 41; r. 37–41) started construction of a circus (AD 40) that was later completed by
Nero, the Circus Gaii et Neronis, usually called, simply, the
Circus of Nero.
The
Vatican obelisk was originally taken by
Caligula from
Heliopolis, Egypt to decorate the spina of his circus and is thus its last visible remnant. This area became the site of martyrdom of many Christians after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. Ancient tradition holds that it was in this circus that
Saint Peter was crucified upside-down.
Opposite the circus was a cemetery separated by the Via Cornelia. Funeral monuments and mausoleums and small tombs as well as altars to pagan gods of all kinds of polytheistic religions were constructed lasting until before the construction of the
Constantinian Basilica of St. Peter's in the first half of the 4th century.

The territory of the Borgo during the Roman age was part of the fourteenth Regio, Transtiberim, and was named Ager Vaticanus, after the
auguries (vaticinii), which were taken there by the Etruscan Augures.

The word derives from the Latin vates, which means "
tellers of the future."

The
lituus was a crooked wand (similar in shape to the top part of a crosier) used as a cult instrument in ancient Roman religion by
augurs to mark out a ritual space in the sky (a templum). The passage of birds through this templum indicated divine favor or disfavor for a given undertaking.

THE
LITAI (or Litae) were the spirits (daimones) of prayer, ministers and daughters of
Zeus.
They appear in
Homer's
Iliad in Book 9 as the
lame and wrinkled daughters of Zeus (no mother named and no number given) who follow after Zeus' exiled daughter
Até ('
Folly') as healers but who cannot keep up with the
fast-running Até.
They bring great advantage to those who venerate them; but if someone dishonors them, then they go to Zeus and
ask that Até be sent against that person.

Letavis is an earth goddess or divinisation of the landscape.
"Letavia" may be derived from "Litavis", so the place-name would mean "
Land of Litavis".

The
lituus was also used as a symbol of office for the college of the augurs to mark them out as a priestly group, similar wands were also used by the priests and pharaohs in ancient Egypt and are associated with some deities.

The word
lituus originally meant a curved
augural staff (cp. "
crozier") or a curved war-trumpet in the ancient Latin language.

The
ancient lituus was an old Etruscan high-pitched brass instrument, which was bent at the end, similar to the Gallic
carnyx. It was later used by the Romans, especially for processional music and as a signalling horn in the army. In 17th century Germany a variant of the bent ancient lituus was still used as a signalling horn by nightwatchmen.

The
mediaeval lituus was a different brass instrument than the ancient Etruscan instrument, described by Kürzinger (1763) as a variant of the early trumpet or horn, i.e. a later development of the ancient Roman tuba.
One of the last compositions orchestrated for the mediaeval lituus was Bach's motet
O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht (BWV 118).
Scientists from Edinburgh University tried to
recreate the lituus in May 2009, when the instrument had been
out of use for 300 years.
