More on the festivals of the non-Jews, including, specifically, the coronation of their kings. With specific focus on the coronation of a king born of a king – except that the Romans didn’t really function that way. So perhaps it was the king’s birthday, not his coronation day? The Gemara attempts to unravel the terms.
