[906] This idea is exactly expressed by Horace in _Odes_
iii. 23, perhaps addressed to the _vilica_ of his own
farm. Cp. Cato, _R.R._ 143, where the _vilica_ is to
pray to the _Lar familiaris pro copia_. Horace mentions
only the Kalends for this rite; Cato adds Nones and
Ides. Cp. Tibull. i. 3. 34; i. 10. 15 foll.

[911] For this reason the veiled figure in one of the
fine sculptures on the Ara Pacis frieze, which used to
be taken as Augustus Pont. Max., cannot be so identified
(see Domaszewski, _Abhandlungen zur roemischen Religion_,
p. 90 foll.), for the date of the Ara Pacis is 13 B.C.,
the year before Lepidus died. The figure can be most
conveniently seen by English students in Mrs. Strong's
_Roman Sculpture_, plate xi. p. 46. It may be Agrippa
acting as Pont. Max. for Lepidus.
