Explanation of various calendars
A festival for humans, not gods,
it symbolized the end of the old year. This was considered an unlucky day,
or a taboo day for pursuing any kind of business, perhaps because the gods
could not be consulted.
According to the first Roman Calendar, this was one of the two days of the year when the rex sacrorum, or high priest, would appear in a public ceremony in the Forum. He would perform sacred rites and trumpets, the purified Tubilustrum, would be blown to herald his arrival in the Comitium.
On this day in 138 AD (DCCCXCI A.V.C.), Antoninus was adopted as co-regent by Hadrian.
