Today it is Dies Comitialis – almost the same as Dies FASTI, but these days are reserved for public gatherings of Romans – comitia. So, if your local community is going to appoint a gathering to discuss certain matters and make decisions – these days are just perfect for that!
It is the sixth day before Kalendae Februariae.
It is the C nundial day, Nundinae – the day before market day this year.
On this day Romans worship: – Castor and Pollux (known together as Dioscuri) are twin brothers and the sons of Leda and Iuppiter. Castor was born mortal and Pollux immortal, Pollux asked Iuppiter to let Him share His own immortality with His twin to keep Them together, and They were transformed into the constellation Gemini. The pair are regarded as the patrons of sailors and horseriders.
