Happy February!
The Kalends of February honoured Juno Sospita, the Roman state goddess. A sanctuary in Lanuvium was wealthy enough for Octavian to borrow from it. February was a month for purification. The Romans celebrated Lupercalia, a festival designed to purify the city and encourage fertility.
