It is only once attested of Roman worship, viz. in the calendar of the Fratres Arvales (Sept. 1 ‘Iovi Libero, Iunoni Reginae in Aventino,’ _C. I. L._ i. 214); but is met with several times among the Osco-Sabellian peoples. Footnote 151: So Hehn, _Kulturpflanzen_, &c., p. 70 foll. But Hehn is only thinking of the later Liber, whom he considers an ‘emanation’ from Jupiter Liber = Dionysus, introduced with the vine from Greece. See Aust, _Lex._ s. v. Iuppiter, 662. Footnote 152: See on April 23. Footnote 153: Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 771 foll. Footnote 154: Marq. _Privatleben_, i. 122 note 2. Footnote 155: Ovid, l. c., 783 foll.; Marq. l. c. and 123, 124. Military service began anciently at seventeen (Tubero, ap. Gell. 10. 28): though even praetextati sometimes served voluntarily (Marq. op. cit. 131). Even if not called out at once, the boys would begin the practice of arms from the assumption of the toga virilis. Footnote 156: Marq. op. cit. 124. Libero in Ca[pitolio], Farn. For Iuventas, Dion. Hal. 3. 69, 4. 15. Footnote 157: This result is obtained by comparing Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 791 Itur ad Argeos—qui sint, sua pagina dicet— Hac, si commemini, praeteritaque die. (where he refers to his description of the rite of May 15, and appears to identify the _simulacra_ and _sacella_), with Gell. _N. A._ 10. 15, who says that the Flaminica Dialis, ‘cum it ad Argeos’ was in mourning dress: also with the fragments of the ‘Sacra Argeorum’ in Varro, _L. L._ 5. 46-54. These have been shown by Jordan (_Topogr._ ii. 271 foll.) to be fragments of an itinerary, meant for the guidance of a procession, an idea first suggested by O. Müller. The further questions of the route taken, and the distribution of the sacella in the four Servian regiones, are very difficult, and need not be discussed here. See Mommsen, _Staatsrecht_, iii. 123 foll. Footnote 158: _L. L._ 5. 85 ‘Salii a salitando, quod facere in comitio in sacris quotannis et solent et debent.’ Footnote 159: i. p. 81 (Keil). Why the _Comitium_ was the scene does not appear. Preller has suggested a reason (i. 364), which is by no means convincing. Footnote 160: It was adopted by Usener (p. 222, note 6), but has obtained no further support. For another curious etymology of the latter part of the word _latrus_, which, however, does not assist us here, see Deecke, _Falisker_, p. 90 (_Dies ater = dies alter = postridie_). Footnote 161: Wissowa, _de Feriis_, ix. Footnote 162: Mommsen, in _C. I. L._ 312. Footnote 163: Mommsen, _R. H._ i. 78, note 1. Footnote 164:
