In the front court of the temple of Minerva on the Capitol there was a chapel of Juventas, in which a coin had to be deposited by each youth on his assumption of the toga virilis, and sacrifices were offered on behalf of the rising manhood of the state.
In connection with this chapel it is related that, when the temple was in course of erection, Terminus, the god of boundaries, and Juventas refused to quit the sites they bad already appropriated as sacred to themselves, which accordingly became part of the new sanctuary.
This was interpreted as a sign of the immovable boundaries and eternal youth of the Roman state.

 Delerium Records: Sons of Selina - Terminus EP
The "Terminus EP" features three tracks (23 minutes) all emitting the same massive, dark science fiction atmosphere of doom and desparation, with keyboards and guitars shreiking out of control, and Birchall's vocals sounding like the prophet of death (in "Terminus" and the 9-minute, fantastic "Fire In The Hole").
Continuing their war against blandness, they possess an energy and dark humour that blooms on the "Terminus" EP, a diverse release that at times sounds like a Hard Rock Hawkwind and at other times a ska infected Spacemen 3, moving from melody to insanity, from screaming volume to laid back angst.
The Terminus EP by Sons of Selina is a very confusing record.

The study of stratigraphy follows the excavation axiom "last in, first out"--meaning that an archaeologist usually removes soil layers in the reverse order in which they were laid down (see Figure 1).
The first terminus post quem, refers to the notion that a datable object provides only the date on or after which the layer of soil that contains it was deposited (see Figure 2).
In contrast, terminus ante quem refers to the concept that all the soil below a solid, undisturbed layer dates before that layer (see Figure 3).
