Note 936 — MENSIS SEPTEMBER.
Reading edition
Mommsen (C. I. L. 328, and Röm. Forsch. ii. 43 foll.) points out that the real centre-point and original day of the ludi proper was the day of the great procession (pompa) from the Capitol to the Circus maximus; and that this was probably the 15th, two days after the epulum, because the 14th, being postriduanus, was unlucky, and that day was also occupied by the ‘equorum probatio.’ (See Fasti Sab., Maff., Vall., Amit. and Antiat.)
