He outlines the purpose of the poem, promising to celebrate the Roman festivals and rituals that mark significant moments in the year. Ovid also comments on the origins of the Roman calendar, attributing its initial structure to Romulus and later modifications to Numa, emphasizing the blend of Roman and divine influences in the establishment of timekeeping.
