Note 1456 — MENSIS FEBRUARIUS
Reading edition
Gilbert, i. 283, points out that in the Argean itinerary (Jord. Top. ii. 237 foll.) one of the divisions of the Quirinal bears the name, and infers the gradual spread of the cult of Quirinus over the whole hill; but he insists that it was introduced from the Palatine. The general result of his wild but ingenious combinations is to infer a religious conquest of the Quirinal from the Palatine.
