Quotation
Ten cycles of the moon the Roman year comprised:
This number then was held in high esteem,
Because, perhaps, on fingers we are wont to count,
Or that a woman in twice five months brings forth,
Or else that numbers wax till ten they reach
And then from one begin their rhythm anew.
— Ovid, Fasti, IIICite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many.
