A feast of the Romans in honor of Lupercus, or Pan.
Lupercalia, or the Feast of the Wolf was held on or about the fourteenth of February in honour of the she-wolf who suckled Romulus & Remus (mythical founders of Rome) it was a Spring (or the returning of) ritual of fertility.
First of all, the lupercal was not a feast, it was a cave. It was located at the foot of the Palatine hill and was/is supposedly the cave where the she-wolf nursed Romulus and Remus. The festival or feast was called the "lupercalia". This was an ancient pastoral festival to insure a good beginning in the spring, as the feast was held in February. It was supposed to rid the city of evil spirits and promote fertility.First of all, the lupercal was not a feast, it was a cave.

The first two Acts of Julius Caesar are centred on the feast of Lupercalia, an ancient feast held in February when young men ran naked through the streets and struck women and girls with sticks. This was a fertility rite. In the play, Antony is shown as running this race, and Caesar asks him to touch his wife Calpurnia. In the play Shakespeare as usual compresses events, having the Lupercalia end on March 14 (just as he compresses the year between the battle of Munda and the assassination)
Flavius was not afraid of Caesar. He just had an intuition that if they did anything against Caesar during the feast of Lupercalia, it might have a hard consequence for them.Infact, he was the one who drove the people away from the streets so that Caesar does not receive too much support of the mob and his spirit is let down.
