Footnote 1051:
Henzen, _Acta Fr. Arv._ 146. The deities to whom _piacula_ are here to
be sacrificed are deities of the grove of the Brethren: hence I should
conclude that this Fons simply represented a particular spring there.
Footnote 1052:
_de Feriis_, &c., p. xi. To me this explanation does not seem quite
satisfactory, though it seems to be sanctioned by Mommsen (_C. I. L._
i. 2. 332, note on Id. Oct. sub fin.). It is however undoubtedly
preferable to the view I had taken before reading Wissowa’s tract,
that the omission was due to an aristocratic neglect of usages which
only survived among the common people and had ceased to concern the
whole community.
Footnote 1053:
Polyb. xii. 4b.
Footnote 1054:
Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τινὶ κατακοντίζειν ἵππον πολεμιστὴν πρὸ τῆς πόλεως ἐν τῷ
κάμπῳ καλουμένῳ. This is quoted from “τὰ περὶ Πυρρόν.”
Footnote 1055:
Fest. 178 ‘October equus appellatur, qui in campo Martio mense Oct.
immolatur quotannis Marti, bigarum victricum dexterior. De cuius
capite non levis contentio solebat esse inter Suburanenses et
Sacravienses, ut hi in regiae pariete, illi ad turrim Mamiliam id
figerent; eiusdemque coda tanta celeritate perfertur in regiam, ut ex
ea sanguis distillet in focum participandae rei divinae gratia, quem
hostiae loco quidam Marti bellico deo sacrari dicunt,’ &c. Then follow
three examples of horse-sacrifices. Paul. 179 adds no fresh
information. Paul. 220 ‘Panibus redimibant caput equi immolati idibus
Octobribus in campo Martio, quia id sacrificium fiebat ob frugum
eventum, et equus potius quam bos immolabatur, quod hic bello, bos
frugibus pariendis est aptus.’ (The meaning of these last words will
be considered presently.) Cp. Plutarch, _Qu. Rom._ 97; probably from
Verrius, perhaps indirectly through Juba. Plut. by a mistake puts the
rite on the Ides of December.
Footnote 1056:
See note in Preller’s _Regionen der Stadi Rom_, p. 174. They are
placed by Kiepert and Hülsen (map 2) close to the Tiber and near the
Mausoleum of Augustus, and a long way from the old ara Martis. Perhaps
the position of the latter had changed as the Campus came to be built
over.
Footnote 1057:

their curule chairs ‘ad aram Martis’). Roscher, _Lex._ s. v. Mars,

Footnote 1058:
What this was is not known: some think a kind of peel-tower. Possibly
a tower in _quadriviis_: cf. definition of _compitum_ in _Schol.
