Note 1142 — Women’s Sacrifice to the Bona Dea.
Reading edition
See above, p. 126. It may be noticed that the Bona Dea, whose solemn rite occurs also at the beginning of this month, was identified with Fauna, the female form of Faunus (R. Peter, in Lex. s. v. Fauna); i. e. their powers for good and evil were thought to be much alike.
