Mommsen, _Röm. Forschungen_, i. 149 foll. Footnote 1368: Lydus, _de Mens._ 4. 24. Lydus gives the 22nd as the final day; Ovid, _Fasti_, 2. 569, gives the 21st (Feralia). Footnote 1369: Dion. Hal. 2. 40. Footnote 1370: _C. I. L._ I². 309: cf. 297 (Introduction, p. 9). The Lupercalia (15th) is an exception; but for reasons connected with that festival. The 21st (Feralia) is F P (Caer.) F (Maff.). See Introduction, p. 10. F P, according to Mommsen, = fastus principio. Footnote 1371: If Ovid reflects it rightly in _Fasti_, 5. 419 foll. Cp. Porph. on Hor. _Ep._ 2. 2. 209. See on Lemuria, above, p. 107. Footnote 1372: On the vast subject of the jus Manium and the worship of the dead, the following are some of the works that may be consulted: Marq. 307 foll., and vii. 350 foll.; De-Marchi, _Il Culto Privato_, p. 180 foll.; Roscher, _Lex._ articles Manes and Inferi; Bouché-Leclereq, _Pontifes_, 147 foll.; Rohde, _Psyche_, p. 630 foll. Two old treatises still form the basis of our knowledge: Gutherius, _de iure Manium_, in Graevius’ _Thesaurus_, vol. xii.; and Kirchmann, _de Funeribus_ (1605). Valuable matter has still to be collected (for later times) from the _Corpus Inscriptionum_. Footnote 1373: This was the universal practice in Italy from the earliest times, so far as we have as yet learnt from excavations. For the question whether burial in or close to the house, or within the city walls, preceded burial in necropoleis, see _Classical Review_, for February, 1897, p. 32 foll. Servius (Ad _Aen._ 5. 64; 6. 152; cp. Isidorus, 15. ii. 1) tells us that they once buried in the house, and there were facts that might suggest this in the cult of the Lares, and in the private ghost-driving of the Lemuria; but we cannot prove it, and it is not true of the Romans at any period. Not even the well-known law of the XII Tables can prove that burial ever regularly took place within the _existing_ walls of a city. Footnote 1374: Cic. _De Legg._ 2. 48. Cp. Virg. _Aen._ 5. 49: Iamque dies, ni fallor, adest, quern semper acerbum, Semper honoratum—sic di voluistis—habebo. Footnote 1375: Marq. 311 foll. Footnote 1376: Purpureosque iacit flores, Virg. _Aen._ 5. 79. Cp. Cic. _pro Flacco_, 38. 95. Footnote 1377: _Aeneidea_, 3. 15. He well compares Lucan, 9. 990. Tylor, _Prim. Cult._ ii. 332. Aeneas is here, as always, the true type of the practical Roman. Footnote 1378: Marq. 311 and reff. Footnote 1379: _Fasti_, 2. 617 foll. Among the calendars it is only mentioned in those of Philocalus and Silvius, and in the rustic calendars. Valerius Maximus is the next writer after Ovid who mentions it: 2. 1. 8. Cp. _C. I. L._ vi. 10234. Martial calls it ‘lux propinquorum’ (9. 55, cp. 54). For an interesting conjecture as to the special meaning of _carus_, see Lattes quoted in De-Marchi, op. cit. 214, note 2.
