July is enterely devoted to Apollo. This period, (Ludi Apollinares) is in particular dedicated to the most important Apollo's manifestations: wisdom, music, poetry, singing and theatre.
For this reason, during these days we are interested in these activites as "rituals", rather than mere spectators, concerning what Apollo sacralizes.
In these days, to complete the male polarity of Apollo, also Fortuna Muliebre (Women's Fortune) is evoked
In addition, in the past, July 5th in Rome was dedicated to the Poplifugium: this is a rite similar to the Regifugium (february 24th) but in this case Roman people take to flight.
