This Day in Ancient History: ante diem viii idus iulias
ante diem viii idus iulias
- ludi Apollinares (day 3) — games instituted in 212 B.C. after consulting the Sybilline books during a particularly bad stretch in the Punic Wars; four years later they became an annual festival in honour of Apollo
- rites in honour of Vitula, possibly honouring a divinity who supposedly presided over victory celebrations … or perhaps she had something to do with heifers
- 1851 — birth of Arthur Evans (excavator of Knossos)
