    On the eighth day before the calends of February the star
    that Tubero calls Regia Stella sets in the morning in the breast of Leo.

    Gaius Plinius Secundus, Historia Naturalis 18.64

    The Feriae Sementivae commence when Regulus sets in Leo at sunrise. The pontiffs have determined that, this year, that event occurs on morning of February 6. All citizens are invited to offer sacrifice and prayers to Mother Earth at the Aedes Tellus.
