  • PGP-13 = Children under 13 might be tricked into thinking the physics were pretty good; parental guidance is suggested: e.g. Pearl Harbor (2001), The Bourne Identity (2002)

    Julian 2002 Jul 23 — NEPTVNALIA I — ANTE DIEM X CALENDAS AVGVSTI MMDCCLV A.V.C
    Explanation of various calendars

         The Neptunalia is the festival which honors Neptune, the god of the seas and water. On this day the Romans traditionally went out to the fields and forests and built small huts called tabernaculi (tabernacles) out of leaves and branches. Within the shade of these natural tents they would picnic outdoors, drinking spring water as well as wine to keep cool in these hot summer days. Overnight camping with fires for cooking would be most likely as the festival continued the next day. Honoring Neptune on this day would assure rainfall for the crops and forestall any drought.
          This was the 6th day of the Great Fire of Rome in DCCCXVII A.V.C. (64 AD), under the emperor Nero.
