Topic: Nundina


  
  The Roman Calendar
Each day of the nundinum was marked on the calendar by the letters A -H. January 1 (the Kalends) was always an "A" and on January 9th (5 days before the Ides of January), the cycle would start over.
Roman calendars, in addition to marking the nundinae, also contained letters that indicated what type of public business could be transacted on a given day.
Romans also thought that the Kalends, Nones and Ides of each month as well as the fourth day of each month were unlucky days (the way we would think of Friday the Thirteenth).

 The CyberSybils Investigate Carmenta - Athena's Mother
Others more probably derive Carmenta from carens mente, or insane, in allusion to her prophetic frenzies.
~ Plutarch (A.D. We can begin by noting that the Etruscan calendar, which the Romans adopted during the Republic, was arranged in nundina, or eight-day periods, in Greek called ogdoads and that the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, Minerva (equivalent of the Greek Athena), had 5 (written V) as her sacred numeral.
We can identify Minerva with Carmenta, because she was generally credited at Rome with the invention of the arts and sciences and because flower-decorated boats, probably made of alder wood, were sailed on her festival, the Quinquatria.
