Paradigm of the Kal. Mart. calendar, to track the nundinal day and week sequence (different from the Kal. Ian. calendar).
Appended brief discussion of the Roman hyperbainic (intercalary) day, and the theory that the calendar year was changed by the Acilia edict de intercalando (192 B.C.) in order to rationalize intercalation by removing the nundinal-G/nonal omen avoidance factor

Working out the date of the battle of Magnesia ; 12 Nov. 190 BC = 19 Mart. 189(R) during the interregnum beginning that year. Rejects the tradition synchronizing the delay at the Hellespont with the Salian sacral month, repositioning the latter to Scipio Africanus' long stay at Elaia. Attributes the influence and endurance of the erroneous tradition to the historia Graeca of P. Scipio Africanus the augur and the influence of Scipiones pontifices maximi on the first, strictly annalistic, part of the Annales Maximi
Research Interests:
Onomastic orthography problems in passages of Cassius Dio and Cicero may be resolved to reveal a collection of Praenestine families in the service and clientele of Lucius Lucullus (cos. 74).
