mmm... This is really a fraud. It is a New Ager document, un-Roman, I
would even say anti-Roman. It makes the apology of sex as a form of
offering to the Gods among other aberrations and incorrections. My
advice is for you not to take it seriously. If you want to start
research on the subject it is better to follow the info available at

Pontifex Antonius Gryllus Graecus omnibus salutem

This is one of the dies comitiales (C), when committees of citizens can
vote on political or criminal matters.

Today is the aniversay of the rededication of the restored temple of Iuno
Moneta on the Capitoline citadel (the 'Arx'). The temple was originally
dedicated on June 1st 344 BC (it had been vowed by Furius Camillus in 345
BC).
Failure to pay attention to the voice of Aius Locutius which came from a
sacred wood (his deification and the dedication of an altar to him at the
Via Nova were later performed in order to expiate the fault), led to the
invasion of Rome by the Gauls in 390 BCE. It was Iuno who by means of her
sacred geese saved the Capitol and Rome from the assault of the Gauls, and
as such she became known as Moneta ('monere'= to warn) and her tample built
on the Arx. As a curiosity, when the Romans started to use money during the
Pyrrhic War, a mint was set up in or adjacent to her temple, and so 'moneta'
came to mean 'mint', and such is the root of the word 'money'.

Bene valete

Salve,

I see. Thanks for informing me. The only part of that document that I was
interested in was the calendar portion. Is the data correct on that portion?
