[6] Salisubsili: the word is not found elsewhere, unless the quotation from Pacuvius given by Guarinus on this passage be genuine, pro imperio salisubsulus si nostro excubet. Here Salisubsulus apparently means Mars; the derivation of the word is evident. The rites of the Salii at Rome were accompanied by violent dances apparently survivals of the orgiastic rites of most ancient times (cf. Preller l.c.), but even such rites as these are not to shake the new bridge.
