	Red, White & Blue\Green (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		There was a real Roman chariot race on the Campus Martius at the Equirria (< *Equi-curria) 'Horse Run'), celebrated around the original New Year (27 February and 13 March) and reputed to have been founded by Romulus in honor of Mars.
		Johannes Lydus (De Mensibus 4:20) has preserved the tradition that the participants were divided into three "tribes" and that their colors were red, white, and green respectively.
		Thus the equirria preserve another reminiscence of the prehistoric tripartite class structure, and Johannes Lydus clinches this by stating the the russati (red) belonged to Mars, the albati (white) to Jupiter, and the virides (green) to Venus, thus to patron deities typical of the warrior, priestly, and commoner orders.

		So why put the leap month after February 23rd/24th?
		Simply, there were two important festivals, Refugium and Equirria, which fell at the end of February and which could not be separated from the beginning of March.
		They are transferred to the intercalary month, but notice with the Roman method of counting backwards, they keep their day numbering constant whether it’s a regular or intercalary year.
