Note 1112 — MENSIS DECEMBER

Reading edition

Cp. Hor. Od. 3. 18, 9-12. Ovid (Fasti, 3. 57) says of December—Vester (i. e. Faustuli et Larentiae) honos veniet, cum Larentalia dicam; Acceptus Geniis illa December habet.

Is this only an allusion to Larentia and Faustulus, or also to the general character of the month and its festivals?
