Then a lectisternium was celebrated for three days, the decemviri for sacred things superintending.

Six couches were seen, for Jupiter and Juno one, for Neptune and Minerva another, for Mars and Venus a third, for Apollo and Diana a fourth, for Vulcan and Vesta a fifth, for Mercury and Ceres a sixth.

Then temples were vowed.

To Venus Erycina, Quintus Fabius Maximus vowed a temple; for so it was delivered from the prophetic books, that he should vow it who held the highest authority in the state.

Titus Otacilius, the praetor vowed a temple to Mens.
