The third Agonalia--the festival of Veiovis, "one of the oldest of the Roman gods. He is a god of healing, and was later associated with the Greek Asclepius. He was mostly worshipped in Rome and Bovillae in Latium. On the Capitoline Hill and on the Tiber Island temples were erected in his honor. In spring, goats were sacrificed to avert plagues."
--Micha F. Lindemans
I've know a little about the Agonalia since April 1998 when I translated all the Latin labels of Piranesi's Ichnographia Campi Martii. In 1972 I often walked through the room where Edward T. Stotesbury died, but I didn't know that then--now part of a little field closest to the columns. I play Napoleon at St. Helena nearly every day, and I didn't win during lunch today. Today is the last day to see Princess Grace's wedding dress--the first time I saw it was late winter/early spring 1972.
Constantine the Great died in a suburban villa of Nicomedia, today's Izmit, Turkey, 22 May 337.
