Explanation of various calendars
Mamurius, the old Mars, was
often associated with, and honored, on this day. A scapegoat was driven out
of the city on this day, symbolic of expelling the old and bringing in the
new.
On this day, the day before the traditional first full moon of the new year, a man dressed in goatskins would be ceremonially chased out of the city in a rite of purification.
In DLXIV A.V.C. (190 BCE) a solar eclipse was seen in Rome this day, but the Roman Calendar had fallen so far adrift that they called this day 11 July (??).
