Fasti Praen.; _C. I. L._ 235, and Mommsen’s note (where Apr. is
misprinted Aug.). ‘[Hoc biduo sacrific]ium maximum Fortunae Prim[i]g.
utro eorum die oraclum patet, II viri vitulum I.’
Footnote 223:
Liv. 30. 39; Friedländer in Marq. 500; Mommsen, _Münzwesen_, p. 642,
note; _Staatsrecht_, i. 586.
Footnote 224:
_C. I. L._ 298.
Footnote 225:
In the Salian hymn _duonus cerus = creator bonus_ (of Janus): cf.
Varro, L. L. 7. 26; Mommsen, _Unteritalische Dialekten_, 133. See
articles _cerus_ (Wissowa) and _Ceres_ (Birt) in _Myth. Lex._;
Bücheler, _Umbrica_, 80 and 99.
Footnote 226:
‘Ceres a creando dicta,’ Serv. Georg. 1. 7. It is worth noting that in
Nonius Marcellus, 44, _cerriti = larvati_, where _cerus_ seems to mean
a ghost. If so, we have a good example of a common origin of ghosts
and gods in the animistic ideas of early Italy.
Footnote 227:
Arnob. 3. 40, quoting one Caesius, who followed Etruscan teaching, and
held that Ceres = Genius Iovialis et Pales. See Preller-Jordan, i. 81.
Footnote 228:
Preller-Jordan, i. 62. They were not even certain whether the Genius
Urbis was masculine or feminine; Serv. _Aen._ 2. 351.
Footnote 229:
Henzen, _Acta Fr. Arv._ p. 48. In later times Ceres took the place of
Mars at the Ambarvalia, under Greek influence.
Footnote 230:
So Henzen, l. c. and his Introduction, p. ix.
Footnote 231:
_Myth. Lex_, s.v. Ceres, 861. He does not, however, dogmatize, and has
little to adduce in favour of his opinion, save the statement of
Servius (Georg. 1. 7) that ‘Sabini Cererem Panem appellant.’
Footnote 232:
Preller Jordan, ii. 26.
Footnote 233:
Aust, _de Aedibus_, pp. 5 and 40. Preller-Jordan, ii. 38.
Footnote 234:
Birt (_Myth. Lex._ 862) gives the authorities.
Footnote 235:
The _trias_ of itself would prove the Greek origin: cf. Kuhfeldt, _de
Capitoliis_, p. 77 foll.
Footnote 236:
Plin. _H. N._ 35. 154. The names of two Greek artists were inscribed
on the temple.
Footnote 237:
Mommsen, _Staatsrecht_, ii. 2, 468, note.
Footnote 238:
Dion. Hal. 6. 89; 10. 42; Liv. 3. 55 says _sacer Iovi_, but the
property was to be sold at the temple of Ceres, Liber, and Libera. The
corn-stealer also was _sacer Cereri_.
Footnote 239:
Liv. 10. 23; 27. 6; 33. 25.
Footnote 240:
Mommsen, _Hist_. i. 284, note. Cp. Schwegler, _Röm. Gesch._ ii. 275,
note 3, who thinks of an _aerarium plebis_ there. See also i. 606 and
ii. 278, note 3. According to Liv. 3. 55 senatus consulta had to be
deposited in this temple.
