fasti

(făs`tī), in ancient Rome, dies fasti were days on which public business could be transacted without impiety. The word also came to be used for the calendars and almanacs that contained such information as holy days, festivals, and historical events. The first known fasti was published in 304 B.C.

Fasti

 

in ancient Rome, originally the name for the days of the month that were deemed favorable for the conduct of state affairs; later, a name for the Roman calendar. The term fasti also denoted annual lists, drawn up by the pontifices, of the names of important public figures, such as magistrates, priests, and victorious generals who had been given a triumph. Surviving fasti have been collected by T. Mommsen in his Corpus inscriptionumLatinorum (vol. 1, Berlin, 1963).

Esta funcion de las sabinas es precisamente la que enfatiza Ovidio y lo que realmente interesa resaltar, independientemente del valor historico que pueda atribuirse a los acontecimientos narrados en los Fasti. El hecho de que el relato de Marte finalice con alusiones claras a Juno Lucina y las mujeres es revelador de como se intenta contraponer la funcion maternal de las primeras ciudadanas lideradas por Hersilia, que adquirieron este derecho por matrimonio con los romanos, los dedicados sobre todo a la guerra; el oficio por el que sobresalieron los companeros de Romulo (44).
