After that they went in procession, two banners being carried before them, in one of which was the picture of Virtue, and that of Fortune in the other. The last went before, carried by a semi-quavering friar, at whose heels was another, with the shadow or image of Virtue in one hand and an holy-water sprinkle in the other I mean of that holy mercurial water which Ovid describes in his Fasti.
After he had taken his degrees, he entered into holy orders, became curate of Uppingham in Rutlandshire; and according to Wood in his Fasti Oxon. was at length made rector of Hadham in Hertfordshire.
That Asiagenus was the original title of the hero of Magnesia and of his descendants, is established by coins and inscriptions; the fact that the Capitoline Fasti call him -Asiaticus- is one of several traces indicating that these have undergone a non-contemporary revision.
Patrick James Stevenson was licensed in 1825, and ordained in 1828. Scott's Fasti, vol. vi. p. 746. Ramsay's Tea-table Miscellany , vol. i. p. 125. "Up in the morning's no for me." Yet here I am up at five no horses come from the North Ferry yet. "O Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Mitchell, Your promises and time keep stitch ill."
He bought in 1810 the estate of Welwyn, and there he entered upon wide and profound studies bearing upon classical chronology, and wrote various important treatises on the subject, viz., Fasti Hellenici, Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece, part i. , part ii. , part iii. , part iv. , Fasti Romani, Civil and Literary Chronology of Rome and Constantinople, vol. i. , vol. ii. , An Epitome of the Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece , the same for Rome . He also wrote a tragedy, Solyman, which was a failure.
Their common fasti are scanty and obscure; and we gain only occasional glimpses of a barbarous federal administration, which barely sufficed to fulfil the most elementary wants of a rising society of traders.
The Metamorphoses were finished before 7 A.D.; the Fasti were only advanced to the end of the sixth book, when all further prosecution of them was stopped by the terrible news, which struck the poet like a thunderbolt, that he was ordered to leave Rome forever. The cause of his exile has been much debated.
See Clinton, Fasti, Lustra Romana, B.C. 50. The battle was fought on the day of the Liberalia, the feast of Liber or Bacchus, the 17th of March. Pompeius, B.C. 49, left Brundisium on the Ides of March, the 15th. According to Dion, Cn. Pompeius was killed by another set of pursuers, not by Didius.
Songs sung at festivals and handed down by tradition may or may not be held more truthful. These he had as well; but the government records, the ancient fasti, had been destroyed at the time of the burning of the city by the Gauls, and there is no hint of any Roman historian that lived prior to the date of the second Punic war.
The Capitol and the Forum impress us with less awe than our own Westminster Hall and Westminster Abbey, the place where the great men of twenty generations have contended, the place where they sleep together! The list of warriors and statesmen by whom our constitution was founded or preserved, from De Montfort down to Fox, may well stand a comparison with the Fasti of Rome.
