Is terminalus a typo for terminalis? In Latin the -al- adjectival suffix is typically 3rd declension (two-termination).

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to quote or link to the description of the Terminalia in Ovid's Fasti? --Fulminouscherub 21:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

It would be worthwhile to include the information from the Fasti. Additionally, a theory has been proposed by Dr. Samuel Husky that Turnus's death in the Aeneid is justifiable in light of the fact that he moved a boundary stone when he lifted and hurled that boulder at Aeneas shortly before his death. According to Roman law, any person who had committed such an offense against the god could be put to death by any citizen. Just a thought. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.15.127.254 (talkcontribs) 00:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC).
