Salii

The Salii celebrated Mars at seed-time—in the month which bears his name, mensis Martius.

Tullus, in this perilous juncture, vowed twelve Salii, and temples to Paleness and Panic.

It was properly applied to the olive-twig bound round with wool, which was stuck in the cap worn by the flamines and salii.

They were conterminous with the Salii—Ὑπεδεξάμην μὲν μοῖραν τοῦ Σαλίων ἔθνους, Χαμάβους δὲ ἐξήλασα.
