ante diem viii kalendas februarias
Sementivae or Paganalia (day 2) -- Sementivae was a festival of sowing which was actually a moveable feast (although I'm not sure of the moveability criteria; I'm guessing that the first day falls between January 24 and 26). By Ovid's time it appears to have been coincident with Paganalia, which also obviously has some rural aspect to it. It appears to have been a two-day festival with an interval of seven days between (corrections on this welcome ... my sources seem muddled on this one)
41 A.D. -- recognition of Claudius as emperor by the senate
98 A.D. -- death of Nerva (?)
