Lustrum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lustrum was a sacrifice for expiation and purification offered by one of the censors of Rome in name of the Roman people at the close of the taking of the census, and which took place after a period of five years, so that the name came to denote a period of that length. The word also signifies a period of five years.
