Note 167 — MENSIS MARTIUS.
Reading edition
Ovid, Fasti, 3. 835 foll.
Caelius ex alto qua mons descendit in aequum,
Hic ubi non plana est sed prope plana via,
Parva licet videas Captae delubra Minervae
Quae dea natali coepit habere suo.
As from the note in Praen. we learn that March 19 was also the dedication-day of Minerva on the Aventine, there must either be a confusion between the two, or both had the same foundation-day. About the day of Minerva Capta there is no doubt; for that of Minerva on the Aventine see Aust, de Aedibus, p. 42.
