Quintilis translated
It's not apparent to me what the info on this page actually portrays. Also, what does Quintilis mean when translated?83.118.38.37 02:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
"Quintilis" isn't "fifth". "Quintus" is fifth. Quintilus is the name of the fifth month.--Scottie theNerd 08:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually, Quintilis DOES mean "fifth" like Quartile means "fourth". User:QuintusCinna 16:58 January 29, 2007 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. --Scottie theNerd 01:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Both Quintilis mensis and Quintilus
15-March-2008: More actually, there are both "Quintilis" ("fifth") and "Quintilus" (fifth month) with the Latin phrase "quintilis mensis" (meaning "fifth month"). The confusion might stem from an elliptical phrase of "Quintilis" as implying "quintilis mensis" just as Americans say "The Fourth" (meaning the Fourth of July). After months of study, I confirmed that the month names end in "us" (with Quintilus followed by Sextilus). This should have been clarified months (years) ago, but at least User:Scottie theNerd had identified "Quintilus" as the fifth month back in August 2006, and the clarification involves creating new articles Quintilus and Sextilus plus noting "sextilis mensis" as meaning "6th month" as a phrase. -Wikid77 (talk) 03:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Nona
Some things stand out:
- The nonas is set on the seventh day (not the ninth)
- The Vitulatio is mentioned twice and does not seem to fit the mold for nefasti. Instead it reads like one of the fasti instead.
Could anyone expound a little on the reasons? I'm not at all sure it got it right. Regards, Kleuske (talk) 12:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
