Festus and the Etruscan Libri Rituales
#1
Does anyone have a translation of Sextus Pompeius Festus (358 L)? It is suppose to describe the Etruscans’ Libri Rituales, which according to one modern scholar it describes “city rites, the consecration of altars and temples, how to sanctify walls and gates lawfully, how tribes, curias and centuries are arranged, armies founded and arrayed and all else of such characters pertaining to war and peace.”

It sounds too good to be true, but as I haven’t a translation, I will await judgement. :unsure:

Also is there an English translation of Festus? So far I have not found one.

Thanks in advance Confusedmile:
