Equirria




There was also a festival on 15 October ( Idus ), in which the right hand horse of the winning pair of a race was sacrificed to Mars. The tail was rushed to the Regia to have its blood drip on the hearth there. There was a traditional fight over its head between the inhabitants of the ''Subura'' who wanted it for the ''Turris Mamilia'', and those of the ''Via Sacria'' who wanted it for the ''regia''.
