Lupercalia

Lupercalia adalah perayaan tahunan pastoral yang sangat kuno, mungkin pra-Romawi, yang dirayakan di kota Roma pada 15 Februari, untuk melawan roh-roh jahat dan memurnikan kota, memberikan kesehatan dan kesuburan. Lupercalia juga disebut "dies Februatus" yang menjadi cikal bakal dari nama bulan Februari (Februarius).
