The Venti are the four Roman wind gods: Favonius (west), Aquilo (north), Auster (south), and Volturnus (east), each governing a cardinal direction's wind. Virgil and Ovid invoke them collectively in descriptions of storms and seasonal change.
The Roman Venti correspond to the Greek Anemoi as the collective personification of the directional winds, adopted into Latin poetry through direct transmission of the Greek four-wind system.
