About Epulum Jovis
In ancient Roman religion, the Epulum Jovis (also Epulum Iovis) was a sumptuous ritual feast offered to Jupiter. Livy, a 1st-century BCE Roman historian, describes such a feast occurring during Plebeian games, which itself occurred during the month of November. The classicist John Scheid suggests that the ceremony probably also occurred after the Roman games in September, noting that such games were generally concluded with sacrificial rites.
