Scope and content
60 Great Barkgate St., Aberystwyth - Discusses the Vestals as virgins, counter to Wissowa's theory they were wives, and another that they were wives of the fire-God; discusses the Argei, arguing that the puppets were not likely old men, but adding that Tiber was not to be trifled with; mentions Deubner's objection to the vegetation theory; discusses temporary kings, is doubtful of the existence of a divine king in Italy; finds barbarian parallels to early Roman ways in Africa and wonders if there is truth to Sergi's theory of migration; has written an article correcting a source for the tale of a man sacrificed to Iuppiter Latiaris, agrees with Geffcken that it is 'what Why-Why would call bosh-bosh'.
