Proper name: ME′MMIUS. 1. C. Memmius C. f. Quirinus, was the aedile who first exhibited the Cerealia at Rome, as we learn from the annexed coin ; but the name does not occur in any ancient writer. The obverse has c. memmi . c. f. qvirinvs, with a head which may be that of Quirinus: the reverse has memmivs. aed. cerealia. preimvs. fecit, and represents Ceres sitting ; a serpent at her feet ; in her right hand, three ears of corn ; in her left, a distaff. The date of the introduction of the Cerealia at Rome (Dionys. vii. 72 ; Liv. xxii. 56 ; Ovid. Fast. iv. 397), and consequently of the aedileship of Memmius Quirinus, is unknown, though it must have been previous to b. c. 216.
