dedicated his temple of Mars Ultor — tellingly enough, in the last year in which he held
the consulship.

- For the idea that March was the beginning of Romulus’s civil year, see below,
p. 205. As Rüpke (1995a, 193) points out, it is significant that the year of each triumph
is dated AUC, not by the names of the consuls. Other “triumphal” fastivary: the Fasti
Triumphales Urbisalvienses (Degrassi 1947, no. 35; 338 – 40) give the day of the year
plus the triumphator’s magistracy, which is a kind of date; the Fasti Triumphales Bar-
beriniani (Degrassi, no. 36; 342 – 45) give the day of the year, but no magistracy, and
no other kind of date. - Note that he is not called Diui filiuswhen he appears for the years 40, 36, and
29 b.c.e.on the Fasti Triumphales Barberiniani (Degrassi 1947, 342 – 45). - Wallace-Hadrill 1987, 224.

- The classic work of Michels (1967) remains standard for the notations of the
Republican calendar. Graf 1997 is a highly stimulating essay on the possible semiotic
power of the calendar, concentrating on the sequence of festivals from December to
March. - Michels 1967, 84 – 89.
- Michels 1967, 22 – 83; cf. Scullard 1981, 44 – 45; Rüpke 1995b, 245 – 88; Linderski
1997 – 98; Scheid 2003, 46 – 54. - Fraschetti 1990, 13 (although his use of Varro’s terminology of “days instituted
for the sake of men” misrepresents what Varro means: see below, p. 199, for the mean-
ing of Varro’s language); cf. Michels 1967, 142. - Michels 1967, 25; Rüpke 1995b, 359, 415; above, p. 103.
- Rüpke 1995b, 345 – 60; 1995a, 199. This proposal looks as if it may be becoming
communis opinio:Gildenhard 2003, 95 – 97; Scheid 2003, 56, 181 – 82 (“a discreet way of
writing the history of Rome and above all that of the victorious generals”). - There are other possible explanations of the dative form besides that of the
temple-dedication notice, canvassed by Rüpke (1995b, 355 – 58). - Rüpke 1995b, 355. It is highly strained to argue, as he does there, that this form
was not used because it would have made the cost of the inscription higher and
obscured the underlying format of the fastias Fulvius had inherited it from Cn. Flav-
ius. Of course, if there were consular fastipresent as well as calendrical, then the his-
torical power of the consular format will have made itself felt. - Feeney 1992b, 5; again, my debt to Wallace-Hadrill (1987) in particular is great.
