agnalia
  24

I affirm that is a word phonetically beautiful and that does not recognize it the dictionary. However this term appears in book I of the annals of Ovid, which attempts to clarify the etymology of months, festivals and myths with a didactic attitude:... PARS putat hoc festum priscis Agnalia dictum ( esse ) : others think that this festival had been called Agnalia ( Festival of lambs ) by the ancient. Lamb in latin agnus agni. He was referring to the Agonalia or agony ( Agonales ) festivals held several times throughout the year and when logging on to any company, in which sheep were sacrificed in honor of the God Janus, Mars and Agonio ( Mercury ) on the Quirinal Hill.
