Lvpercal: Nota a livio 1, 5, 1

In Livius 1,5,1 the reading Lupercal hoc ludicrum has been interpreted with the meaning of Lupercal game or festivity; however, this interpretation goes against the use in Latin of the singular form Lupercal, wich is used to refer to the cavern and not to the games, wich are always referred to with theplural form Lupercalia. Lexical reasons suggest that Lupercal should also be interpreted here in its usual local sense.
