do ur own English homework The festival of Lupercalia was not only a purifying rite for the city, but it was also supposed to be a fertility rite for women. As the runners passed them, women in the crowd would hold out their hands to be hit with the goat skinned thongs that the runners carried. This was supposed to insure fertility.
