Julian 2003 Oct 12— MEDITRINALIA II — ANTE DIEM IV IDVS OCTOBRIS MMDCCLVI A.V.C
Explanation of various calendars

     


     The feasting and wine-drinking of the previous evening would have spilled over, most likely literally, into this and the subsequent days. Jupiter and Meditrina were honored again on this day. This day was also celebrated as a prelude to the Fontinalia, which starts presumably at midnight.
     In Greece this was the second day of the Athenian Thesmophoria. The Thesmophoria was a fertility festival. They would carry sacred baskets containing phallic symbols in a ceremonial procession to the Acropolis. The priestesses would offer themselves freely as public prostitutes as a means of ensuring the fertility of the cornfields.
