Pistor

, a surname given to Jupiter by the Romans, signifying baker , because when their city was taken by the Gauls, the god persuaded them to throw down loaves from the Tarpeian hill where they were besieged, that the enemy might from thence suppose that they were not in want of provisions, though in reality they were near surrendering through famine. This deceived the Gauls, and they soon after raised the siege. Ovid , Fasti , bk. 6 , lis. 350, 394, .
