Rom._ i. 21). The name of June was _Junius_ at Rome, _Junonius_ at Aricia, Laurentum and Lavinia, and _Junonalis_ at Tibur and Praeneste (Ovid, _Fasti_, vi. 59-63; Macrobius, _Sat._ i. 12. 30). The forms _Junonius_ and _Junonalis_ are recognised by Festus (p. 103, ed. C. O. Müller). Their existence among the Latins seems to render the derivation of _Junius_ from Juno quite certain, though that derivation is doubted by Mr. W. Warde Fowler (_Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic_, pp. 99 _sq._).

There was a sacred beechen grove of Diana on a hill called Corne near Tusculum (Pliny, _Nat. Hist._ xvi. 242). But _Corne_ has probably no connection with _Carna_. The grove of Helernus was crowded with worshippers on the first of February (Ovid, _Fasti_, ii. 67, where _Helerni_ is a conjectural emendation for _Averni_ or _Asyli_). Nothing else is known about Helernus, unless with Merkel (in his edition of Ovid’s _Fasti_, pp. cxlviii. _sq._) we read _Elerno_ for _Eterno_ in Festus, p. 93, ed. C. O. Müller. In that case it would seem that black oxen were sacrificed to him. From the association of Carna with Janus it was inferred by Merkel (_l.c._) that the grove of Helernus stood on or near the Janiculum, where there was a grove of oaks (see above, p. 186). But the language of Ovid (_Fasti_, ii. 67) points rather to the mouth of the Tiber. Footnote 626: See above, p. 185. Footnote 627: Ovid, _Fasti_, vi. 129-168. A Roman bride on the way to her husband’s house was preceded by a boy bearing a torch of buckthorn (_spina alba_, Festus, _s.v._ “Patrimi,” p. 245, ed. C. O. Müller; Varro, quoted by Nonius Marcellus, _De compendiosa doctrina_, _s.v._ “Fax,” p. 116, ed. L. Quicherat). The intention probably was to defend her from enchantment and evil spirits. Branches of buckthorn were also thought to protect a house against thunderbolts (Columella, _De re rustica_, x. 346 _sq._). Footnote 628: See above, p. 54.
