QRCF
With QRCF ( Latin Quando Rex Comitiavit Fas , dt. "When the Rex Sacrorum has sacrificed, Fas ") the final days of a Nefas period were designated in the Roman calendar . The two-and-a-half-day QRCF days covered the period from day 22 to day 24. In the middle was the Tubilustrium , a one and a half day ritual act . The QRCF days were classified as either C or F days .
The Festus reports show that in the almost completely destroyed QRCF Festus heading, the word menstruis referred to an originally monthly meeting. In the later reformed calendar , the QRCF days only fell on the months of Martius and Maius , although the associated sources provide no reason for this. Possibly the reason can be seen in the double occupancy of Feriae deities, since Volcanus was already connected to the Volkanalia on the 23rd Sextilis . Mars also had a "holiday" on Martius 1st .
