Ovid's Fasti: With an English translation by Sir James George Frazer. William Heinemann, Ltd. / G. P. Putnam's Sons, London / New York, 1931.

 

The Fasti, sometimes translated as The Book of Days or On the Roman Calendar, is a six-book Latin poem written by the Roman poet Ovid and published in AD 8. Ovid is believed to have left the Fasti incomplete when he was exiled to Tomis by the emperor Augustus in 8 AD.

 

'The Fasti' is a study of the Fasti, Ovid's poetic version of the Roman calendar. Each book of this poem corresponds to a month of the Roman calendar, and the books, like the Roman calendars they imitate, detail the religious observances associated with individual days.
