450 Franchi de Bellis (1981) 65-7 argues that the term damnuseias is related to the Greek word
baµoOotvia meaning public banquet
451 Pumperia seems to be monthly held holiday, probably related to the movements of the moon- for
history of interpretations of this term see Franchi de Bellis (1981) 56-9.
452 Heurgon(1942a) 78-80 argues that the vesullia was could have been the private feast of the gens
Vesullia, which later became a general term for public holidays. Rix (1995) 355, however, suggests
that the word Vesullia is the diminutive of the Umbrian Vesune.
