Note 87 — THE REGIFUGIUM. ROME A REPUBLIC.
Havilland Le Mesurier Chepmell translation
Lar is an Etruscan prænomen frequently occurring on the monuments, and it probably means king or God. Martial’s scansion Porsĕna is incorrect: in Vibenna, Cæcina, and others, the same termination always appears with the penultima long.
