Faunalia

Festivals at Rome in honour of Faunus. They were celebrated on the 13th of February, or the Ides of the month. On this same day occurred the slaughter of the Fabii (Ovid, Fast. ii. 193 foll.). There was another festival of the same name, which was celebrated on the Nones of December (Hor. Carm. iii. 18).
