en-wikipedia-org-1424		Numa Pompilius - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	4457	469	70	Numa Pompilius (Latin pronunciation: [ˈnʊma pɔmˈpɪlijʊs]; 753–673 BC; reigned 715–673 BC) was the legendary second king of Rome,[1] succeeding Romulus after a one-year interregnum.[2] He was of Sabine origin, and many of Rome's most important religious and political institutions are attributed to him, such as the Roman Calendar, Vestal Virgins, the cult of Mars, the cult of Jupiter, the cult of Romulus, and the office of Pontifex Maximus.[2] Plutarch[12] (citing Valerius Antias) and Livy[13] record that at his request he was buried along with these "sacred books", preferring that the rules and rituals they prescribed be preserved in the living memory of the state priests, rather than preserved as relics subject to forgetfulness and disuse. Numa also established the office and duties of Pontifex Maximus and instituted (Plutarch's version[20]) the flamen of Quirinus, in honour of Romulus, in addition to those of Jupiter and Mars that already existed.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1424.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1424.txt
