• Festival of Mars (day 6)
• 12 B.C. — Augustus becomes pontifex maximus
• ca. 251 A.D. — martyrdom of Conon in Pamphylia

… and ten years ago at rogueclassicism, we were reading of possible sequels to the Passion and something called the Cleisthenes Project (a quick glance at google now suggests several projects of that moniker)

• Ludi Palatini (day 1)
• 86 B.C. — death of Marius (or possibly on the 13th)
• 38 B.C. — Octavian marries Livia
• 6 B.C. — dedication of the ara Numinis Augusti in Rome
• 42 A.D. — consecration of Livia as divine

Ten years ago at rogueclassicism, it was a rather quiet day, with an item on the current Lord Elgin and some excitement over a Pepsi commercial with a Classical bent. Since it wasn’t available on that particular day, you can reminisce here:

• carmentalia (day 2) — an annual festival in honour of the nymph Carmenta (a divinity associated with prophecy and childbirth; also the mother of Evander) celebrated primarily by women on the 11th and 15th of January
• 69 A.D. — murder of Galba and his adopted son Piso; dies imperii of Otho

… ten years ago at rogueclassicism, there wasn’t much going on, but we were getting our first mentions of Vin Diesel’s Hannibal movie, which has yet to come to fruition (although we can mention Halle Berry’s miniseries on same which is coming up, on which amicus noster and Bread and Circuses blogger Adrian Murdoch served in an historical advisor’s capacity)
