EQUIRRIA. - Due feste del più antico calendario romano, il 27 febbr. e il 14 marzo, portano questo nome a sono rispettivamente l'ultima e la prima del calendario stesso.The differences between the two celebrations do not stand out from the scanty data; they were connected with horse races and took place at the Campus Martius, in honor of Mars. March 14 (one of only two festivals of the ancient calendar that fall on even-numbered days) is, in fact, defined in some calendars as feriae Marti while in others it bears the name of Mammarlia.
