This day, the Terminalia, is the last day of the sacral year, or the annual cycle of religious holidays. Ovid says the rites of the Terminalia form the close of all others. The rites of the Terminalia included ceremonial renewal and mutual recognition of the boundary stone, the marker between properties. A garland would be laid on this marker by all parties to the land so divided. After kindling a fire, honey-cakes, fruits and wine would be offered and shared, and songs of praise to the god called Terminus would be sung. Terminus was considered to have the appearance of stone and was often honored with the placement of a large stone at the boundaries. With this feast, the year as a whole comes to an end, as the Roman new year began traditionally on 01 March.
