Footnote 1112:
Cp. Hor. _Od._ 3. 18, 9-12. Ovid (_Fasti_, 3. 57) says of
December—Vester (i. e. Faustuli et Larentiae) honos veniet, cum
Larentalia dicam; _Acceptus Geniis_ illa December habet.
Is this only an allusion to Larentia and Faustulus, or also to the
general character of the month and its festivals?
Footnote 1113:
Plut. _Cic._ 19; Dio Cass. 37. 35.

Footnote 1115:
Cic. _de Harusp. resp._ 17. 37 ‘fit per Virgines Vestales, fit pro
populo Romano, fit in ea domo quae est in imperio.’ In 62 B.C. it was
in Caesar’s house, and apparently in the Regia, if as pontifix maximus
he resided there. See Marq. 346, note 1; 250, note 2.
Footnote 1116:
Fest. 245 _publica sacra_ are ‘quae _publico sumptu_ pro populo
fiunt.’ See my article ‘Sacra’ in _Dict. of Antiquities_.

menstruum celebrant.’

note).

Footnote 1123:
The earliest hint of the connexion of Faunus with Evander and the
Palatine legend is found in a fragment of Cincius Alimentus, who wrote
at this time (H. Peter, _Fragm. Hist. Lat._ 41, from Servius, _Georg._
1. 10).
Footnote 1124:
Dion. Hal. 1. 31; Suet. _Vitell._ 1. Cp. for a more truly Italian
view, Virgil, _Aen._ 8. 314 foll.
Footnote 1125:
_Aen._ 7. 45 foll. The order was Saturnus, Picus, Faunus, Latinus.
Footnote 1126:
Wissowa in _Lex._ s. v. Faunus, 1458: who, however, does not
sufficiently explain the contrast. Silvanus became _tutor finium_, and
_cusios hortuli_ (cp. _Gromatici Veteres._ p. 302). It was probably
this turn given to his cult which saved him from the fate of Faunus.
He takes over definite duties to the cultivator, while Faunus is still
roaming the country in a wild state.
