Footnote 1450:
See other references in Preller, i. 374, note. Ambrosch (_Studien_,
169, note 50) observes that Cicero (_de Off._ 3. 10) writes with a
trace of scepticism: ‘Romulus fratre interempto sine controversia
peccavit, pace vel Quirini vel Romuli dixerim.’
Footnote 1451:
See Jordan on Preller, i. 369. The article ‘Quirinus’ in _Myth. Lex._
has not yet appeared as I write.
Footnote 1452:
_Studien_, 169.
Footnote 1453:
_C. I. L._ i. 41 = vi. 475 and i. 630 = vi. 565. The older one is
attributed by Mommsen to the consul P. Cornelius of B.C. 236: ‘P.
Corn[elios] L. f. coso[l] prob[avit] Mar[te sacrom].’ The other,
‘Quirino L. Aimilius L. f. praitor,’ must be set down to an Aemilius
praetor in 204, 191, or 190. The inference is that Mars became known
as Quirinus in that spot at the end of the third century B.C. It is
worth noting that the legendary smith, Mamurius, had a statue on the
Quirinal (Jord. _Top._ ii. 125).
Footnote 1454:
This is much what Dion. Hal. 2. 48 says was one view held in his time:
οὐκ ἔχοντας εἰπεῖν τὸ ἀκριβὲς εἴτε Ἄρης ἐστὶν εἴτε ἕτερός τις ὁμοίας
Ἄρει τιμὰς ἔχων.
Footnote 1455:
See on Jan. 9. Fest. 254.
Footnote 1456:
Gilbert, i. 283, points out that in the Argean itinerary (Jord. _Top._
ii. 237 foll.) one of the _divisions_ of the Quirinal bears the name,
and infers the gradual spread of the cult of Quirinus over the whole
hill; but he insists that it was introduced from the Palatine. The
general result of his wild but ingenious combinations is to infer a
religious conquest of the Quirinal from the Palatine.
Footnote 1457:
Aust, op. cit. pp. 11 and 33. Mommsen, _C. I. L._ i. 310, takes the
one of unknown date as the older.

Footnote 1465:
_L. L._ 6. 13. According to Macrob. (1. 13. 15) the five last days of
February were added after the intercalation, in order that March might
follow on Feb., and not on the intercalated days.

Footnote 1469:
This must be a son of the family. We have, therefore, in this charming
picture the predecessors of the Rex, the Regina sacrorum, the
flamines, and the Vestal Virgins.
Stat puer et manibus lata canistra tenet.
Inde ubi ter fruges medios immisit in ignes,
Porrigit incisos filia parva favos.
