30 Gennaio del 9 a.C.

- Il 30 Gennaio del 9 a.C. viene consacrata da Augusto l'Ara Pacis, nella data del compleanno di Livia Drusilla Claudia (nata il 58 a.C.).



La dedica dell'Ara Pacis è una data sicura poiché è una data storica.



Il 30 Gennaio del 9 a.C. NON è la data di fondazione di Torino (Augusta Taurinorum).
Si veda la discussione al link Zenodo: Su una datazione archeoastronomica recentemente proposta per la fondazione di Augusta Taurinorum, l'odierna Torino.

La fondazione di Torino come Augusta Taurinorum e la datazione della colonia romana


Book I: January 30

My song has led to the altar of Peace itself.
This day is the second from the month’s end.
Come, Peace, your graceful tresses wreathed
With laurel of Actium: stay gently in this world.
While we lack enemies, or cause for triumphs:
You’ll be a greater glory to our leaders than war.
May the soldier be armed to defend against arms,
And the trumpet blare only for processions.
May the world far and near fear the sons of Aeneas,
And let any land that feared Rome too little, love her.
Priests, add incense to the peaceful flames,
Let a shining sacrifice fall, brow wet with wine,
And ask the gods who favour pious prayer
That the house that brings peace, may so endure.
Now the first part of my labour is complete,
And as its month ends, so does this book.

Fasti di Ovidio Translated by A. S. Kline
