42 Or is it because the god was the discoverer of crops and the pioneer in husbandry? For this is what his sickle signifies and not as Antimachus,Kinkel, Epicorum Graec. Frag. p. 287, Antimachus, Frag. 35. following Hesiod, Theogony, 160 ff.; Cf. Apollonius Rhodius, iv. 984-986. has written: Here with sickle in hand was wrought the form of rough Cronus Maiming his sire at his side, who is Uranus, offspring of Acmon. Now abundant harvests and their disposal are what give rise to a monetary system: therefore they make the god who is the cause of their good fortune its guardian also. Testimony to support this may be found in the fact that the markets held every eight days and called nundinae That is, the ninth day, by the Roman inclusive system of reckoning (Cf. Macrobius, Saturnalia, i. 16. 34). are considered sacred to Saturn, for it was the superabundance of the harvest that initiated buying and selling.

42 Or is this a matter of ancient history, and was Valerius Publicola the first to make the temple of Saturn the treasury, when the kings had been overthrown, because he believed that the place was well-protected, in plain sight, and hard to attack secretly?

43 Why do the ambassadors to Rome, from whatever country they come, proceed to the temple of Saturn, and register with the prefects of the treasury?
