St. John, iii. 30; St. Augustine, Sermo xii in Nativitate Domini: ‘In nativitate Christi dies crescit, in Johannis nativitate decrescit. Profectum plane facit dies, quum mundi Salvator oritur; defectum patitur quum ultimus prophetarum nascitur.’ Footnote 693: See many examples in _The Golden Bough_, ii. 258 foll., and Brand’s _Popular Antiquities_, p. 306. Footnote 694: See R. Peter, in _Lex._, s. v. Fortuna, 1506. Footnote 695: _Études de Myth. Gaul._ i. 56 foll. On p. 58 we find, ‘La Fortune nous paraît donc sortir, par l’intermédiaire d’une image, d’une divinité du soleil.’ Footnote 696: For the history of these symbols in Greek cults, and especially that of Tyche, see a paper by Prof. Gardner in _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, vol. ix. p. 78, on ‘Countries and Cities in ancient art.’ The rudder seems to connect Fortuna with sea-faring; it is often accompanied by a ship’s prow (R. Peter, _Lex._ 1507); in connexion with which we may notice that even in Italy her cult is rarely found far from the sea. Cp. Horace, _Od._ 1. 35, 6 ‘dominam aequoris.’ Footnote 697: 10. 311 foll.; Marq. 578. Footnote 698: R. Peter, _Lex._ 1505. She is also often represented with a _modius_, and with ears of corn. Cp. Horace, l. c. (of the Fortuna of Antium): ‘Te pauper ambit sollicita prece Ruris colonus.’ Footnote 699: Ovid, _Fasti_, 6. 573 foll. Schwegler, _R. G._ i. 711 foll.; Preller, ii. 180. Footnote 700: Dennis, _Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria_, vol. ii. p. 506; Gardthausen, ‘Mastarna,’ figures the painting (plate i). Footnote 701: Tac. _Ann._ II. 24; the fragments of the original speech are printed from the inscription at Lyons in Mr. Furneaux’s _Annals of Tacitus_, vol. ii. p. 210. Footnote 702: Juvenal, 10. 74, and note of the Scholiast. Footnote 703: Müller-Deecke, _Etrusker_, ii. 52; Dennis, _Cit. and Cem._ ii. 24. Footnote 704: Juvenal, l.c. Footnote 705: See below on Sept. 13, p. 234. Footnote 706: Müller-Deecke, ii. 308. Gaidoz, op. cit. p. 56, on the connexion between Fortuna, Necessitas, and Nemesis.
