The Roman festival of #Regifugium normally fell the day after #Terminalia, 11 days after the ides of Februarius and 5 days before the kalends of Martius. But in a leap year, Mercedonius would sometimes fall the day after Regifugium; other times, it would fall the day after Terminalia, in which case Regifugium wouldn't fall until 27 days later, 5 days before the ides of Martius.
The Romans were the *worst* at timekeeping.

CW: Selected Roman holidays for February
February was the last month before the new year in the old Roman calendar, and is heavily focused on purification — the month's name comes from februa (sg. februum), ritual objects used for purification, such as clean water, certain plants, or the famous goat skins used in Lupercalia. Most of this month's festivals center renewing ties with the living and the dead, reinforcing boundaries, and securing protection for city, family, and home.
Selected Festivals:
🐐 #Faunalia (13): a minor festival honoring Faunus
🐺 #Lupercalia (15): a festival which includes important sacrifices and a city-purifying race around its walls
👻 #Parentalia (13—21): a festival focused on family grave tending; ends on #Feralia (21), a more somber occasion, and is followed by #Caristia (22), a joyful celebration of family with feasts, gifts, and offerings
⛔ #Terminalia (23): in honor of Terminus, god of boundaries, offerings would be given at boundary markers
