What is agonium?

 

Not sure why, but the word "agonium" cropped up in my stream of consciousness.  It's not an element.   

Here's what it is:


agōnium n (genitive agōniī or agōnī); second declension

The day in which the sacrificial victims were immolated.   

(Immolation means getting all burnt up.  Ewww.)


It's also the name of a line of expensive watches from Stromwatch, thankfully.
