Talk:Fasti

Nefastus Priore?

Shouldn't that be (N)efastus (P)ublicus? cf. Mommsen, Michels, et al.

Loaded Language

"devoured by Islam"... is this a reference to the Byzantine Empire? Such a phrase seems unfair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.232.211 (talk) 09:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Almanacs and registers

These are not fasti, which are not just any lists. There was no official weather or crop prediction and the concept of almanac is later than Roman (look it up on Wikipedia). Also a register is a catalog of items not a record of events. Property and accounts were listed in registers. The register is a catalog of assets. The Roman army registered all of its property meticulously and these registers were not in any way fasti. The fasti are essentially diachronic and official or some imitation thereof.Dave (talk) 05:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

For now I'm going to continue to incorporate 1911 text, restoring it where wrongly corrected and updating it where I can and adding some refs, but we do that for a lot of Britannica articles.Dave (talk) 05:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Etymology sourcing (invitation to add Lewis and Short)

The lede is weak vis-a-vis origin of the term, and the Etymology section is completely unreferenced, and so unhelpful to me in trying to relate the origin of the term, and how it came to be used in its plural, to mean the standard presentation of a Roman calendar (as it seems to have been). Please, dedicated editors of relevant WP projects, review and edit the etymology section so that it is a starting point of learning (not a "trust us on this", sourceless section). Here is a source I found independently, that may be useful (Lewis and Short entry, at Tufts): [1]. Cheers. Le Prof 71.239.87.100 (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Death of Augustus

Incorrectly states that Augustus died in 13 BC, rather than 13 or 14 AD.

Modern fasti

   @Ɱ: With the summary

this material is not about Roman official fasti (whether "Roman" is construed to imply modern city or ancient empire)

I cut the section "Modern fasti" from the article, and pasted it to another edit window, changing the section's depth of section nesting (to make it an independent section, later in the article) -- but got distracted (Rachel's coverage of mustard-gas- and explosives-disposal?) before doing the 2nd save.
   When i hear back from my colleague Ɱ, whose revert was fully justified -- and (in perspective) quite adequately explained, that they understand my intent and my error, and are at least willing to look over my intended completion of my derailed editing session, then

i'll finish the job i intended (by restoring my half-fasti edit and saving my still pending edit) and await their response to it,

and my hope is the completed result will please or at least satisfy Ɱ. But i await further developments, and promise to respond (at worst, no less calmly than this) in case there's still reason to revert me.

OK dude, that's totally fine with me. The ping template didn't work; I've had some trouble with it. I may have had better luck just linking the person's name, like "User:Jerzy".--ɱ (talk · vbm) 02:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Calendaria?

Can someone provide a source for the meaning of this word as used in this article? In classical Latin, it doesn't mean calendar; "fasti" does. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 15:30, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion: Move material on calendar to Roman Calendar article

Fasti means two things in Latin: calendar and list of official things by year. The first meaning is represented in the article "Roman calendar." I therefore suggest that the section "Calendaria" (wrongly named in any case) be incorporated in that other article, perhaps with a link to it at the start, and this article be left only for the list meaning of fasti. Thoughts? - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 19:59, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Done. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
