  • rites in honour of Fides on the Capitoline — these involved a procession of the flamines in a “two horse hooded carriage” to the shrine. The flamines had to bind themselves up as far as their fingers as a symbolic gesture that fides (good faith) had to be kept.

  • 331 B.C. — Battle of Gaugamela (one suggested date)
  • 208 A.D. (?) — birth of the future emperor Severus Alexander
