Caca

Or Cacia, a sister of Cacus, who, according to some accounts, betrayed the place where the cattle were concealed which Cacus had stolen from Hercules or Recaranus. She was rewarded for it with divine honors, which she was to enjoy for ever. In her sanctuary a perpetual fire was kept up, just as in the temple of Vesta.
