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 8th day before Idae Decembres.
It is the D nundial day, the 8th day before Nundinae – the market day 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!
