This paper aims to investigate the historiographical tradition on the Brumalia, connected to the memory of Romulus. Starting from their attestation in Malala’s historical work, some probable traces of this festival are observed in previous sources, to propose that the process of connecting the memory of Romulus with a festival celebrated between the end of the autumn and the beginning of the winter slowly began from the first century CE.

Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the historiographical tradition on the Brumalia, connected to the memory of Romulus. Starting from their attestation in Malala’s historical work, some probable traces of this festival are observed in previous sources, to propose that the process of connecting the memory of Romulus with a festival celebrated between the end of the autumn and the beginning of the winter slowly began from the first century CE.File in questo prodotto:
