OCTOBER, XXV DAYS.

The name of this month originated like that of the preceding, fr•'m
its place in the calendar—Ocfat its ►►b habit —the eighth from the rainy
season. A Decree ut the Senate hid given to September the natue• of
Antoninus, and of &tisanes to this month ; but for once the flattery of Se-
nators was dele►►ted I.y the modesty of the Emperor and Empresq, and the
month preserved its original denomination to this time. The first part
of it being under the sign of Libra was dedicated to Vulcan, and the
latter part to ►tlars :

" Volcano, pawns: Nlavotta scorpius liwret."
