Sancus
In ancient Roman religion, Sancus (also known as Sangus or Semo Sancus) was the god of trust (fides), honesty, and oaths. His cult is one of the most ancient of the Romans, probably derived from Umbrian influences.
Oaths
Sancus was also the god who protected oaths of marriage, hospitality, law, commerce, and contracts in particular. Some forms of swearings were used in his name and honour at the moment of the signing of contracts and other important civil acts. Some words (like "sanctity" and "sanction" - for the case of disrespect of pacts) have their etymology in the name of this god, whose name is connected with sancire "to hallow" (hence sanctus, "hallowed").
Worship
The temple dedicated to Sancus stood on the Quirinal Hill, under the name Semo Sancus Dius Fidius. Dionysius of Halicarnassus writes that the worship of Semo Sancus was imported into Rome at a very early time by the Sabines who occupied the Quirinal Hill. According to tradition his cult was said to have been introduced by the Sabines and perhaps king Titus Tatius dedicated a small shrine. The actual construction of the temple is generally ascribed to Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, although it was dedicated by Spurius Postumius on June 5 466 BC.
Sancus (skipper)

Never Dis Di Man
by: SanchezThere are lots of signs in life
some that you may not like
you could be living this minute
the next minute your gone away aye
Hold up your heads my brothers
Be conscious, my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid aye
Chorus:
(Never...)
Never try to dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one whose got the title
The one who sits high and he looks down low (aye, aye)
(Never...)
And if you ever dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one who got the title
then you'll be someone that he dont know
Say a prayer and chant a psalm
Prayer that can keep the evil calm
You dont have to go to church and be a christian to call on Jah name
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah in the Valley
(Jahovah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Hills
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Plains
(Jahovah)
Or even if it rains
Call on the name (Amen)
Call on (Amen) Jah name the same
Call on the name (Amen) yea (Amen)
CHORUS
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Time is short and Life is precious aye
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Life is short no time is precoius
You got to have the heart of a lion
if you want to reach mount Zion
You can never be afraid
just calll on his name
Life is no game...
(Life, Life, Life is no game)2x
Life is no game
(Life, Life, Life is no game)
CHORUS
There are lots of signs in life
Some that you may not like
You could be living this minute
The next minute your gone away aye
HOLD UP you heads my brothers
BE Conscious my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid ye, aye
