Abstract
Saeculum
properly denotes the longest human lifespan. The Etruscans believed that cities were allotted a fated number of
saecula
, each ending with the death of the longest‐living person born on its first day, but the Romans equated the
saeculum
with a hundred years; tradition made the twelve vultures seen by Romulus to promise the city twelve such
saecula
of existence.
