NOVENDIA′LE, (sc. sacrum), was the name given to two different festivals.

1. Of a festival lasting nine days, was celebrated as often as stones rained from heaven. It was originally instituted by Tullus Hostilius, when there was a shower of stones upon the Mons Albanus, and was frequently celebrated in later times (Liv. I.31, XXI.62, XXV.7, XXVI.23, XXVII.37, XXIX.34).

2. Of the sacrifice performed nine days after a funeral [Funus, p562A.]
