Ovid, Fasti, 1.223-1.226
nos quoque templa iuvant, quamvis antiqua probemus We too delight in golden temples, however much
aurea: maiestas convenit ista deo. We approve the antique: such splendour suits a god.
laudamus veteres, sed nostris utimur annis: We praise the past, but experience our own times:
mos tamen est aeque dignus uterque coli.’ Yet both are ways worthy of being cultivated.’

BCE - 1st cent. CE) 1.1. I’ll speak of divisions of time throughout the Roman year 1.2. Their origins, and the stars that set beneath the earth and rise. 1.4. And direct the voyage of my uncertain vessel: 1.6. Receiving with favour the homage I pay you. 1.7. Here you’ll revisit the sacred rites in the ancient texts 1.9. And here you’ll find the festivals of your House 1.10. And see your father’s and your grandfather’s name: 1.14. And those days that he added to the sacred rites. 1.17. Be kind to me, and you’ll empower my verse: 1.18. My wit will stand or fall by your glance. 1.19. My page trembles, judged by a learned prince 1.20. As if it were being read by Clarian Apollo. 1.25. If it’s right and lawful, a poet, guide the poet’s reins 1.27. When Rome’s founder established the calendar 1.28. He determined there’d be ten months in every year. 1.29. You knew more about swords than stars, Romulus, surely 1.30. Since conquering neighbours was your chief concern. 1.31. Yet there’s a logic that might have possessed him 1.32. Caesar, and that might well justify his error. 1.33. He held that the time it takes for a mother’s womb 1.34. To produce a child, was sufficient for his year. 1.35. For as many months also, after her husband’s funeral 1.36. A widow maintains signs of mourning in her house. 1.37. So Quirinus in his ceremonial robes had that in view 1.38. When he decreed his year to an unsophisticated people. 1.39. Mars’ month, March, was the first, and Venus’ April second: 1.40. She was the mother of the race, and he its father. 1.41. The third month May took its name from the old (maiores) 1.42. The fourth, June, from the young (iuvenes), the rest were numbered. 1.43. But Numa did not neglect Janus and the ancestral shades 1.44. And therefore added two months to the ancient ten. 1.45. Yet lest you’re unaware of the laws of the various days 1.46. Know Dawn doesn’t always bring the same observances. 1.47. Those days are unlawful (nefastus) when the praetor’s three word 1.48. May not be spoken, lawful (fastus) when law may be enacted. 1.49. But don’t assume each day maintains its character throughout: 1.50. What’s now a lawful day may have been unlawful at dawn: 1.51. Since once the sacrifice has been offered, all is acceptable 1.52. And the honoured praetor is then allowed free speech. 1.53. There are those days, comitiales, when the people vote: 1.54. And the market days that always recur in a nine-day cycle. 1.56. While a larger white ewe-lamb falls to Jupiter on the Ides: 1.57. The Nones though lack a tutelary god. After all these days 1.63. See how Janus appears first in my song 1.64. To announce a happy year for you, Germanicus. 1.67. Be favourable to the leaders, whose labours win 1.69. Be favourable to the senate and Roman people 1.71. A prosperous day dawns: favour our thoughts and speech! 1.72. Let auspicious words be said on this auspicious day. 1.73. Let our ears be free of lawsuits then, and banish 1.74. Mad disputes now: you, malicious tongues, cease wagging! 1.75. See how the air shines with fragrant fire 1.76. And Cilician grains crackle on lit hearths! 1.77. The flame beats brightly on the temple’s gold 1.78. And spreads a flickering light on the shrine’s roof. 1.79. Spotless garments make their way to Tarpeian Heights 1.80. And the crowd wear the colours of the festival: 1.81. Now the new rods and axes lead, new purple glows 1.82. And the distinctive ivory chair feels fresh weight. 1.83. Heifers that grazed the grass on Faliscan plains 1.84. Unbroken to the yoke, bow their necks to the axe. 1.85. When Jupiter watches the whole world from his hill 1.86. Everything that he sees belongs to Rome. 1.87. Hail, day of joy, and return forever, happier still 1.88. Worthy to be cherished by a race that rules the world. 1.102. Over the days, and remember my speech. 1.103. The ancients called me Chaos (since I am of the first world): 1.105. The clear air, and the three other elements 1.106. Fire, water, earth, were heaped together as one. 1.107. When, through the discord of its components 1.108. The mass dissolved, and scattered to new regions 1.109. Flame found the heights: air took a lower place 1.110. While earth and sea sank to the furthest depth. 1.111. Then I, who was a shapeless mass, a ball 1.112. Took on the appearance, and noble limbs of a god. 1.113. Even now, a small sign of my once confused state 1.114. My front and back appear just the same. 1.117. Whatever you see: sky, sea, clouds, earth 1.118. All things are begun and ended by my hand. 1.119. Care of the vast world is in my hands alone 1.120. And mine the goverce of the turning pole. 1.121. When I choose to send Peace, from tranquil houses 1.122. Freely she walks the roads, and ceaselessly: 1.123. The whole world would drown in bloodstained slaughter 1.124. If rigid barriers failed to hold war in check. 1.129. With salt: on his sacrificial lips I’m Patulcius 1.130. And then again I’m called Clusius. 1.135. Every doorway has two sides, this way and that 1.136. One facing the crowds, and the other the Lares: 1.141. You see Hecate’s faces turned in three directions 1.171. Next I said: ‘Why, while I placate other gods, Janus 1.172. Do I bring the wine and incense first to you?’ 1.173. He replied: ‘So that through me, who guard the threshold 1.174. You can have access to whichever god you please.’ 1.181. When the temples and ears of the gods are open 1.209. But ever since Fortune, here, has raised her head 1.210. And Rome has brushed the heavens with her brow 1.224. We approve the antique: such splendour suits a god. 1.225. We praise the past, but experience our own times: 1.226. Yet both are ways worthy of being cultivated.’ 1.229. ‘Indeed I’ve learned much: but why is there a ship’s figure 1.230. On one side of the copper as, a twin shape on the other?’ 1.231. ‘You might have recognised me in the double-image’ 1.232. He said, ‘if length of days had not worn the coin away. 1.233. The reason for the ship is that the god of the sickle 1.234. Wandering the globe, by ship, reached the Tuscan river. 1.235. I remember how Saturn was welcomed in this land: 1.236. Driven by Jupiter from the celestial regions. 1.243. Here, where Rome is now, uncut forest thrived 1.244. And all this was pasture for scattered cattle. 1.249. Justice had not yet fled from human sin 1.250. (She was the last deity to leave the earth) 1.251. Shame without force, instead of fear, ruled the people 1.260. He at once retold the warlike acts of Oebalian Tatius 1.261. And how the treacherous keeper, Tarpeia, bribed with bracelets 1.262. Led the silent Sabines to the heights of the citadel. 1.277. ‘But why hide in peace, and open your gates in war?’ 1.278. He swiftly gave me the answer that I sought: 1.279. ‘My unbarred gate stands open wide, so that when 1.280. The people go to war the return path’s open too.’ 1.281. I bar it in peacetime so peace cannot depart: 1.282. And by Caesar’s will I shall be long closed.’ 1.283. He spoke, and raising his eyes that looked both ways 1.284. He surveyed whatever existed in the whole world. 1.285. There was peace, and already a cause of triumph, Germanicus 1.286. The Rhine had yielded her waters up in submission to you. 1.287. Janus, make peace and the agents of peace eternal 1.288. And grant the author may never abandon his work. 1.289. Now for what I’ve learned from the calendar itself: 1.290. The senate dedicated two temples on this day. 1.295. What prevents me speaking of the stars, and their rising 1.296. And setting? That was a part of what I’ve promised. 1.297. Happy minds that first took the trouble to consider 1.298. These things, and to climb to the celestial regions! 1.299. We can be certain that they raised their head 1.300. Above the failings and the homes of men, alike. 1.301. Neither wine nor lust destroyed their noble natures 1.302. Nor public business nor military service: 1.303. They were not seduced by trivial ambitions 1.304. Illusions of bright glory, nor hunger for great wealth. 1.305. They brought the distant stars within our vision 1.306. And subjected the heavens to their genius. 1.307. So we reach the sky: there’s no need for Ossa to be piled 1.308. On Olympus, or Pelion’s summit touch the highest stars. 1.309. Following these masters I too will measure out the skies 1.310. And attribute the wheeling signs to their proper dates. 1.315. Should the Nones be here, rain from dark cloud 1.316. Will be the sign, at the rising of the Lyre. 1.629. Lest the pure hearths are defiled by sacrifice. 1.630. If you love ancient ritual, listen to the prayers 1.637. Near where lofty Moneta lifts her noble stairway: 1.638. Concord, you will gaze on the Latin crowd’s prosperity 1.639. Now sacred hands have established you. 1.640. Camillus, conqueror of the Etruscan people 1.641. Vowed your ancient temple and kept his vow. 1.642. His reason was that the commoners had armed themselves 1.643. Seceding from the nobles, and Rome feared their power. 1.644. This latest reason was a better one: revered Leader, Germany 1.645. offered up her dishevelled tresses, at your command: 1.646. From that, you dedicated the spoils of a defeated race 1.647. And built a shrine to the goddess that you yourself worship. 1.648. A goddess your mother honoured by her life, and by an altar 2.21. The high priests ask the King and the Flamen 2.61. Under whose rule the shrines are untouched by age: 4.23. When Romulus established the length of the year 4.24. He recognised this, and commemorated your sires: 4.25. And as he granted first place among months to fierce Mars 4.26. Being the immediate cause of his own existence 4.27. So he granted the second month to Venus 4.28. Tracing his descent from her through many generations: 4.29. Searching for the roots of his race, unwinding the roll 4.30. of the centuries, he came at last to his divine kin. 4.31. He couldn’t be ignorant that Electra daughter of Atla 4.32. Bore Dardanus, that Electra had slept with Jove. 4.33. From Dardanus came Ericthonius, and from himTros: 4.34. He in turn produced Assaracus, and Assaracus Capys. 4.35. Next was Anchises, with whom Venu 4.36. Didn’t disdain to share the name of parent. 4.37. From them came Aeneas, whose piety was seen, carrying 4.38. Holy things, and a father as holy, on his shoulders, through the fire. 4.39. Now at last we come to the fortunate name of Iulus 4.40. Through whom the Julian house claims Teucrian ancestors. 4.41. Postumus was his, called Silvius among the Latin 4.42. Race, being born in the depth of the woods. 4.43. He was your father, Latinus. Alba followed Latinus: 4.44. Epytus was next to take your titles Alba. 4.45. Epytus gave his son Capys a Trojan name 4.46. And the same was your grandfather Calpetus. 4.47. When Tiberinus ruled his father’s kingdom after him 4.48. It’s said he drowned in a deep pool of the Tuscan river. 4.49. But before that he saw the birth of a son Agrippa 4.50. And a grandson Remulus, who was struck by lightning. 4.51. Aventinus followed them, from whom the place and the hill 4.52. Took their name. After him the realm passed to Proca. 4.53. He was succeeded by Numitor, brother to harsh Amulius. 4.54. Ilia and Lausus were then the children of Numitor. 4.55. Lausus fell to his uncle’s sword: Ilia pleased Mars 4.56. And bore you Quirinus, and your brother Remus. 4.57. You always claimed your parents were Mars and Venus 4.58. And deserved to be believed when you said so: 4.59. And you granted successive months to your race’s gods 4.60. So your descendants might not be in ignorance of the truth. 4.94. And maintains all beings from her source. 4.123. And she was called the bride of Assaracus’s son 4.124. So that mighty Caesar would have Julian ancestors. 5.1. You ask where I think the name of May comes from? 5.2. Its origin’s not totally clear to me. 5.3. As a traveller stands unsure which way to go 5.4. Seeing the paths fan out in all directions 5.5. So I’m not sure which to accept, since it’s possible 5.6. To give different reasons: plenty itself confuses. 5.7. You who haunt the founts of Aganippian Hippocrene 5.8. Those beloved prints of the Medusaean horse, explain! 5.9. The goddesses are in conflict. Polyhymnia begins 5.10. While the others silently consider her speech. 5.11. ‘After the first Chaos, as soon as the three primary form 5.12. Were given to the world, all things were newly re-configured: 5.13. Earth sank under its own weight, and drew down the seas 5.14. But lightness lifted the sky to the highest regions: 5.15. And the sun and stars, not held back by their weight 5.16. And you, you horses of the moon, sprang high. 5.17. But Earth for a long time wouldn’t yield to Sky 5.18. Nor the other lights to the Sun: honours were equal. 5.19. One of the common crowd of gods, would often dare 5.20. To sit on the throne that you, Saturn, owned 5.21. None of the new gods took Ocean’s side 5.22. And Themis was relegated to the lowest place 5.23. Until Honour, and proper Reverence, she 5.24. of the calm look, were united in a lawful bed. 5.25. From them Majesty was born, she considers them 5.26. Her parents, she who was noble from her day of birth. 5.27. She took her seat, at once, high in the midst of Olympus 5.28. Conspicuous, golden, in her purple folds. 5.29. Modesty and Fear sat with her: you could see 5.30. All the gods modelling their expression on hers. 5.31. At once, respect for honour entered their minds: 5.32. The worthy had their reward, none thought of self. 5.33. This state of things lasted for years in heaven 5.34. Till the elder god was banished by fate from the citadel. 5.35. Earth bore the Giants, a fierce brood of savage monsters 5.36. Who dared to venture against Jupiter’s halls: 5.37. She gave them a thousands hands, serpents for legs 5.38. And said: “Take up arms against the mighty gods.” 5.39. They set to piling mountains to the highest stars 5.40. And to troubling mighty Jupiter with war: 5.41. He hurled lightning bolts from the heavenly citadel 5.42. And overturned the weighty mass on its creators. 5.43. These divine weapons protected Majesty well 5.44. She survived, and has been worshipped ever since: 5.45. So she attends on Jove, Jove’s truest guardian 5.46. And allows him to hold the sceptre without force. 5.47. She came to earth as well: Romulus and Numa 5.48. Both worshipped her, and so did others in later ages. 5.49. She maintains fathers and mothers in due honour 5.50. She keeps company with virgins and young boys 5.51. She burnishes the lictor’s rods, axes, and ivory chair 5.52. She rides high in triumph behind the garlanded horses.’ 5.53. Polyhymnia finished speaking: Clio, and Thalia 5.54. Mistress of the curved lyre, approved her words. 5.55. Urania continued: all the rest were silent 5.56. And hers was the only voice that could be heard. 5.57. ‘Once great reverence was shown to white hair 5.58. And wrinkled age was valued at its true worth. 5.59. The young waged work of war, and spirited battle 5.60. Holding to their posts for the sake of the gods: 5.61. Age, inferior in strength, and unfit for arms 5.62. often did the country a service by its counsel. 5.63. The Senate was only open to men of mature age 5.64. And Senators bear a name meaning ripe in years. 5.65. The elders made laws for the people, and specific 5.66. Rules governed the age when office might be sought: 5.67. Old men walked with the young, without their indignation 5.68. And on the inside, if they only had one companion. 5.69. Who dared then to talk shamefully in an older man’ 5.70. Presence? Old age granted rights of censorship. 5.71. Romulus knew this, and chose the City Father 5.72. From select spirits: making them the rulers of the City. 5.73. So I deduce that the elders (maiores) gave their own title 5.74. To the month of May: and looked after their own interests. 5.75. Numitor too may have said: “Romulus, grant this month 5.76. To the old men” and his grandson may have yielded. 5.77. The following month, June, named for young men (iuvenes) 5.78. Gives no slight proof of the honour intended.’ 5.79. Then Calliope herself, first of that choir, her hair 5.80. Unkempt and wreathed with ivy, began to speak: 5.81. ‘Tethys, the Titaness, was married long ago to Ocean 5.82. He who encircles the outspread earth with flowing water. 5.83. The story is that their daughter Pleione was united 5.84. To sky-bearing Atlas, and bore him the Pleiades. 5.85. Among them, Maia’s said to have surpassed her sister 5.86. In beauty, and to have slept with mighty Jove. 5.87. She bore Mercury, who cuts the air on winged feet 5.88. On the cypress-clothed ridge of Mount Cyllene. 5.89. The Arcadians, and swift Ladon, and vast Maenalus 5.90. A land thought older than the moon, rightly worship him. 5.91. Evander, in exile from Arcadia, came to the Latin fields 5.92. And brought his gods with him, aboard ship. 5.93. Where Rome, the capital of the world, now stand 5.94. There were trees, grass, a few sheep, the odd cottage. 5.95. When they arrived, his prophetic mother said: 5.96. “Halt here! This rural spot will be the place of Empire.” 5.97. The Arcadian hero obeyed his mother, the prophetess 5.98. And stayed, though a stranger in a foreign land. 5.99. He taught the people many rites, but, above all, those 5.100. of twin-horned Faunus, and Mercury the wing-footed god. 5.101. Faunus half-goat, you’re worshipped by the girded Luperci 5.102. When their strips of hide purify the crowded streets. 5.103. But you, Mercury, patron of thieves, inventor 5.104. of the curved lyre, gave your mother’s name to this month. 5.105. Nor was this your first act of piety: you’re thought 5.106. To have given the lyre seven strings, the Pleiads’ number.’ 5.107. Calliope too ended: and her sisters voiced their praise. 5.108. And so? All three were equally convincing. 5.109. May the Muses’ favour attend me equally 5.110. And let me never praise one more than the rest.
7. Strabo, Geography, 5.3.7 (1st cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE) 5.3.7. In the interior, the first city above Ostia is Rome; it is the only city built on the Tiber. It has been remarked above, that its position was fixed, not by choice, but necessity; to this must be added, that those who afterwards enlarged it, were not at liberty to select a better site, being prevented by what was already built. The first [kings] fortified the Capitol, the Palatium, and the Collis Quirinalis, which was so easy of access, that when Titus Tatius came to avenge the rape of the [Sabine] virgins, he took it on the first assault. Ancus Marcius, who added Mount Caelius and the Aventine Mount with the intermediate plain, separated as these places were both from each other and from what had been formerly fortified, was compelled to do this of necessity; since he did not consider it proper to leave outside his walls, heights so well protected by nature, to whomsoever might have a mind to fortify themselves upon them, while at the same time he was not capable of enclosing the whole as far as Mount Quirinus. Servius perceived this defect, and added the Esquiline and Viminal hills. As these were both of easy access from without, a deep trench was dug outside them and the earth thrown up on the inside, thus forming a terrace of 6 stadia in length along the inner side of the trench. This terrace he surmounted with a wall flanked with towers, and extending from the Colline to the Esquiline gate. Midway along the terrace is a third gate, named after the Viminal hill. Such is the Roman rampart, which seems to stand in need of other ramparts itself. But it seems to me that the first [founders] were of opinion, both in regard to themselves and their successors, that Romans had to depend not on fortifications, but on arms and their individual valour, both for safety and for wealth, and that walls were not a defence to men, but men were a defence to walls. At the period of its commencement, when the large and fertile districts surrounding the city belonged to others, and while it lay easily open to assault, there was nothing in its position which could be looked upon as favourable; but when by valour and labour these districts became its own, there succeeded a tide of prosperity surpassing the advantages of every other place. Thus, notwithstanding the prodigious increase of the city, there has been plenty of food, and also of wood and stone for ceaseless building, rendered necessary by the falling down of houses, and on account of conflagrations, and of the sales, which seem never to cease. These sales are a kind of voluntary falling down of houses, each owner knocking down and rebuilding one part or another, according to his individual taste. For these purposes the numerous quarries, the forests, and the rivers which convey the materials, offer wonderful facilities. of these rivers, the first is the Teverone, which flows from Alba, a city of the Latins near to the country of the Marsi, and from thence through the plain below this [city], till it unites with the Tiber. After this come the Nera (Nar) and the Timia, which passing through Ombrica fall into the Tiber, and the Chiana, which flows through Tyrrhenia and the territory of Clusiumn. Augustus Caesar endeavoured to avert from the city damages of the kind alluded to, and instituted a company of freedmen, who should be ready to lend their assistance in cases of conflagration; whilst, as a preventive against the falling of houses, he decreed that all new buildings should not be carried so high as formerly, and that those erected along the public ways should not exceed seventy feet in height. But these improvements must have ceased only for the facilities afforded by the quarries, the forests, and the ease of transport.
