Saturnalia

Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius

Romae quoque kalendis omnibus, praeter quod pontifex minor in curia Calabra rem divinam Iunoni facit, etiam regina sacrorum, id est regis uxor, porcam vel agnam in regia Iunoni immolat.

Also at Rome on all the Kalends, in addition to the fact that the lower ranked priest makes a sacrifice to Juno in the Curia Calabra, also the queen of sacrifices, that is, the wife of the king, sacrifices a pig or a lamb to Juno in the Regia.
