	Ambarvalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambarvalia was a Roman agricultural fertility rite held at the end of May in honour of Ceres.
		At these festivals they sacrificed a bull, a sow, and a sheep, which, before the sacrifice, were led in procession thrice around the fields; whence the feast is supposed to have taken its name, ambio, I go round, and arvum, field.
		Scaliger, in his notes on Festus, maintains the ambarvalia to be the same as amburbia.

		His Homeric pastoral The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosicli, afterwards rechristened Tober-na-Vuolich (1848), was inspired by a long vacation after he had given up his tutorship, and is full of socialism, reading-party humours and Scottish scenery.
		Ambarvalia (1849), published jointly with his friend Thomas Burbidge, contains shorter poems of various dates from 1840, or earlier, onwards.
		His only considerable enterprise in prose was a revision of the 17th century translation of Plutarch by Dryden and others, which occupied him from 1852, and was published as Plutarch's Lives (1859).

	Ambarvalia - Wikipedia
		Die Ambarvalia (von lateinisch amb-: „um, herum“, arvum: "Feld/Acker"; man beachte den Zusammenhang mit urvare - pflügen, erklärt bei Sulcus primigenius) waren ein Ritus der römischen Religion, der im Frühjahr stattfand.
		Da die zu Rom gehörende Fläche immer größer wurde, wurden die Feierlichkeiten auf bestimmte Orte festgelegt und hier als feriae conceptiva begangen.
		Ein häufig geäußerte und bisher nicht widerlegte Vermutung ist, dass die Ambarvalia identisch sind mit den von den Fratres arvales, der Arvalbrüdern zu Ehren der Dea Dia begangenen Feierlichkeiten.
