Curio maximus and Quirinus

A very welcome and much informative contribution.

This article is important in relation to our knowledge of god Quirinus. Dumezil thought the Quirinalia were in fact the stultorum feriae, i.e. the last day of the Fornacalia. The curio m. decided about the date of these feriae.

The curiae on the other hand were the original social entities of the Roman people and Quirinus was their god. These social character constitues the essential theological meaning of this god: Quirinus is the god of the Romans as producers, farmers and members of a civil commonwealth. This is the only interpretation that can give an interpretation that makes sense and is grounded in the sources.

A question: was the rex sacrorum from the Marcii really a plebeian? Aldrasto11 (talk) 12:36, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
