Editing Lupercalia (section)

===Locations===
The rites were confined to the Lupercal cave, the [[Palatine Hill]], and the Forum, all of which were central locations in Rome's [[Founding of Rome|foundation myth]].<ref>[[Livy]], ''[[Ab Urbe Condita Libri (Livy)|Ab urbe condita]]'' 1.5</ref> Near the cave stood a sanctuary of [[Rumina]], goddess of breastfeeding; and the wild fig-tree (''[[Ficus Ruminalis]]'') to which Romulus and Remus were brought by the divine intervention of the river-god [[Tiberinus (god)|Tiberinus]]; some Roman sources name the wild fig tree ''caprificus'', literally "goat fig". Like the cultivated fig, its fruit is pendulous, and the tree exudes a milky sap if cut, which makes it a good candidate for a cult of breastfeeding.<ref name=Vuković2018>{{cite journal |last1=Vuković |first1=Krešimir |title=The topography of the Lupercalia |journal=Papers of the British School at Rome |date=October 2018 |volume=86 |pages=37–60 |doi=10.1017/S0068246217000381 |id={{ProQuest|2117060930}} |jstor=26579503 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
