There was in the Roman army a legion, the twelfth, called the Melitine or the Thundering, which bore on its roll many Christian soldiers. They gave thanks for the rain and the victory to the one omnipotent God who had heard their prayers, whilst the pagans rendered like honor to Jupiter, the rain-giver and the thunderer.
In the lowest systems the rain-giver may be a sacred stone, dipped in a stream, or a royal or priestly magician who is held responsible and is punished if the expected result is not attained. In such cases the procedure is often one of imitative magic.
Nyakang is the rain-giver, on whom their life and prosperity depend; there are several shrines in which sacred Spears, now kept for sacrificial purposes, are preserved, the originals, which were the property of Nyakang, having disappeared.
