“praestitibus Maiae Laribus vīdēre Kalendae āram cōnstituī parvaque signa deum. vōverat illa quidem Curius: sed multa vetustās dēstruit, et saxō longa senecta nocet The Calends of May beheld an altar erected to the Guardian Lares, and little statues of the gods. Indeed, Curius had dedicated them; but a long existence destroys many [things], and prolonged age is damaging to stone. (See Manius Curius Dentatus.)”
