Note 71 — DISSERTATION I.

Plate III. fig. 1. In the Imperial library at Vienna, there is a manuscript calendar, said to have been written in the time of Constantius the son of Constantine the great, with drawings of the twelve months. April is represented as a man dancing with a crotalum in each hand. This instrument was probably constructed of brass, in order to make a rattling noise. See it represented in Plate III. fig. 3, which is copied from a print in Lambecii Bill. Cæsar. Vindobon. tom. iv. p. 291. These months are also given in Montfaucon's antiquities.
