    In the play Julius Caesar, the Feast of Lupercal was a fertility festival honoring Pan, and was celebrated in the Coliseum. One of the events was a foot race. There were also animal sacrifices and they ate goat. Wikipedia also says that there were ritual whippings.

    The celebration of feast of Lupercal was based on suspicion by some religious sort of people. This feast is in honor and recognition of the goddess Pan, the queen of fertility and also to repel away all the negative karma from the country, releasing health and producing more babies. During that period, females who aren't fertile are supposed to be procreate and fertile ones are supposed to bear more children. It is a time of gratitude and sexual glorification towards the gods for children (or more of them). There was also animal sacrificial, like goat and dog and salt meal cakes were burnt to celebrate this joyous occasion
