This Day in Ancient History: ante diem vi idus februarias

  • 293 B.C. — dedication of a Temple of Quirinus by Papirius Cursor (the temple having been vowed/begun by his similarly-named dictator father) which had a sundial associated with it somehow
  • 291 B.C. — possible date for the arrival of the cult of Aesculapius at Rome
  • 1827 — Death of William Mitford (History of Greece … perhaps on February 10)
  • 1909 — birth of David Daube
