[201] Tango aras 4. 219 note, 6. 124. “Is cui, si aram tenens iuraret, crederet nemo” Cic. pro Flacco, 36. 90. “Vendet periuria summa Exigua et Cereris tangens aramque pedemque” Juv. 14. 218: comp. Livy 21. 1. ‘Medios ignes et numina’ apparently means ‘the fires and the gods that are between us.’ Aeneas and Latinus probably stand with the altar between them, and the gods are supposed to be present at the sacrifice. Heins. explained ‘medios’ as = “sequestres et conciliatores pacis.” ‘Mediosque’ was the common reading before Pierius and Heins.
