Today it is Dies Fastus – the regular working day on which modern Romans may do their daily businesses. It is the 8th day before Idus Martiae. It is the C nundial day, Nundinae – the day before market day of this year. Keep in mind that today is Dies Ater – Unlucky day. There were several kinds of such days in Ancient Rome: dies vitiosi, postrudiani, etc., but their exact meaning and differences are not clear enough for us – Romans of today. We discourage modern Romans from starting new projects, making journeys, signing contracts or going surfing or skiing or doing anything risky at all. You better avoid addressing and offering a sacrifice to celestial Gods and Goddesses on this day. Get home, drink some wine, and read a good book instead!
