Tinia, Vulcan, Mars, Saturn, Hercules, Summanus and
Vedius; the Etruscans also became united with the Ro-
mans.
Note in Macaulay s poem of  Horatius,  Lars Porsena
of Clusium by the nine gods he swore, in 596 B.C. Lars

don.
Note in this connection, the Nundinals of the Romans,
who marked the days by letters into parcels of 8 days,
and on every 9th day the people left their pursuits and
went to the towns to market. Hence, the jocular Latin
saying, Tres mulieres Nundinas faciunt. These Nundi-
nals are a type of our Dominical letters, a set of seven
marking out the 8th days. The Romans also held a purifi-
cation ceremony on male infants on the 9th day of life,
hence the presiding goddess of this rite was called
Nundina.
The Nones were one of the sets of days composing each
calendar month. The Roman Novennalia was a feast in
memory of the dead celebrated every 9th year. The
Novendiale was an occasional Roman Catholic fast to
avert calamities, from this arose the R.C. system of
Neuvaines.
There is a Masonic order of  Nine Elected Knights, in

The Mahometans have 99 names of the deity. Some
Jews have taught that God has 9 times descended to
earth; 1st in Eden, 2nd at the confusion of tongues, 3rd at
the destruction of Sodom, 4th to Moses at Horeb, 5th at
Sinai, 6th to Balaam, 7th to Elisha, 8th in the Tabernacle
and 9th in the Temple at Jerusalem; and that his 10th
comes as the Messiah will be final.

The ancients had a fear of the number Nine and its mul-
tiples, especially 81; they thought of them of evil pres-
age, indicating change and fragility.
At the 9th hour Jesus the Savior died.
Nine is also  the earth under evil influences.
John Heydon in the  Holy Guide, and J. M. Ragon, in
his  Maconnerie Occulte, thus associate numbers with
the Planets.

day.
