[edit]What's this one hears about foxes with their brushes alight, set loose in the Circus Maximus? What's the Roman origin of this tale that reminds me of Samson? --Wetman 06:45, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This page is titled incorrectly. This Holiday is correctly spelled Cerialia. you can see this on this page A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (1890) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.247.87 (talk) 23:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I changed the date of the festival to April 11th on the authority of Ovid, Fas. IV, 393.Aldrasto (talk) 09:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Getty's description makes clear that although no-one knows precisely what Alma-Tadema meant to depict in terms of Roman festivals, the most likely candidate is one day of several from Flora's festival, which started towards the end of April and continued into May. Or perhaps Maia or Bona dea as a women's goddess. It sure doesn't have much to do with Cerealia. No wheat! No foxes! No matrons! https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/611/lawrence-alma-tadema-spring-dutch-1894/ Haploidavey (talk) 16:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
