Open passage
1092. Liv. 37. 33. 7. Cp. Polyb. 21. 10. 12.
Open passage
1093. Marq. 437, note 1. The suggestion was Huschke’s, Röm. Jahr, 363.
Open passage
1094. Charisius, pp. 81. 20 (Keil), for lustratio in March. The word Armilustrium, used for this day, speaks for itself.
Open passage
1096. We have a faint indication that they reached the pons sublicius, which was quite near to the Circus maximus. See Marq. 433, note 8.
Open passage
1097. Rustic calendars: ‘Sementes triticariae et hordiar[iae].’ Varro, R. R. 1. 34.
Open passage
1098. Mommsen in C. I. L. i. 2, 333.
Open passage

Open passage
1100. See the table in C. I. L. i. 2, 335.
Open passage
1101. Probably these notes belong to the Ides. In the Arval calendar the entry is opposite the 14th, but from its position may be really meant as an additional note to the Ides. There is no other example of religious rites on a day after Ides. (Henzen, Arv. 240; C. I. L. i. 2, 296.) The same was the case with all ‘dies postriduani.’
Open passage
1102. See under Cerialia and Floralia.
Open passage
1103. Liv. 1. 30. Roman merchants were seized by the Sabines in this market (Dion. Hal. 3. 32).
Open passage
1104. Steuding in Lex. s. v. Feronia; Liv. 26 11. I cannot see any reason to connect her with November sowing, as Steuding does, p. 1480.
Open passage
1107. The cutting of the hair, and putting on of the pileus. See Robertson Smith, Religion of Semites, p. 307.
Open passage
1108. Serv. Aen. l. c. The myth must be Graeco-Etruscan.
Open passage
1109. Liv. 29. 36. The dedication was 194 B.C. (Liv. 34. 53).
Open passage
1110. R. R. 1. 35. 2; Colum. 2. 8. 2.
Open passage
1112. Cp. Hor. Od. 3. 18, 9-12. Ovid (Fasti, 3. 57) says of December—Vester (i. e. Faustuli et Larentiae) honos veniet, cum Larentalia dicam; Acceptus Geniis illa December habet.
Open passage
Is this only an allusion to Larentia and Faustulus, or also to the general character of the month and its festivals?
Open passage
1113. Plut. Cic. 19; Dio Cass. 37. 35.
Open passage
1114. Cic. ad Att. 1. 12, and 15. 25.
Open passage
1115. Cic. de Harusp. resp. 17. 37 ‘fit per Virgines Vestales, fit pro populo Romano, fit in ea domo quae est in imperio.’ In 62 B.C. it was in Caesar’s house, and apparently in the Regia, if as pontifix maximus he resided there. See Marq. 346, note 1; 250, note 2.
Open passage
1116. Fest. 245 publica sacra are ‘quae publico sumptu pro populo fiunt.’ See my article ‘Sacra’ in Dict. of Antiquities.
Open passage
1119. Probus on Virg. Georg. 1. 10 ‘In Italia quidam annuum sacrum, quidam menstruum celebrant.’
Open passage
1120. The word is ‘odore,’ i.e. sweet herbs of the garden (Marq. 169 and note).
Open passage
1123. The earliest hint of the connexion of Faunus with Evander and the Palatine legend is found in a fragment of Cincius Alimentus, who wrote at this time (H. Peter, Fragm. Hist. Lat. 41, from Servius, Georg. 1. 10).
Open passage
1124. Dion. Hal. 1. 31; Suet. Vitell. 1. Cp. for a more truly Italian view, Virgil, Aen. 8. 314 foll.
Open passage
1125. Aen. 7. 45 foll. The order was Saturnus, Picus, Faunus, Latinus.
Open passage
1126. Wissowa in Lex. s. v. Faunus, 1458: who, however, does not sufficiently explain the contrast. Silvanus became tutor finium, and cusios hortuli (cp. Gromatici Veteres. p. 302). It was probably this turn given to his cult which saved him from the fate of Faunus. He takes over definite duties to the cultivator, while Faunus is still roaming the country in a wild state.
Open passage
1127. Bouché-Leclercq, Hist. de la Divination, iv. 122.
Open passage
1129. Schwegler, Röm. Gesch. i. 351.
Open passage
1130. Varro, L. L. 7. 36 ‘Faunos in silvestribus locis traditum est solitos fari futura.’ Servius identifies Faunus and Fatuus; ad Aen. 6. 775.
