The Roman Collegia.
June , the 21 st May . At the Parentalia there was a feast of friendship and love , called "Charistia , " for settling family differences and quarrels . It may be therefore true , as Mr . Coote says , that the Collegium kept its annual feast of dedication as a Dies Natalis . It would also
