This Day in Ancient History: nonas decembres

~ David Meadows ~ rogueclassicist

nonas decembres

  • Rites in honour of Faunus: essentially a rural ritual involving an offering of wine and a kid on a turf altar to mark the end of the year’s toil and ensure the continued protection of the sheep.
  • 302 A.D. — martyrdom of Gratus and companions
