Professor Judith Hallett says that March 1 was the date on which Romans had love celebrations, according to Newswise's article Ancient Rome Waited Until March 1 to say "I Love You".
Today is the first day of the Roman Parentalia holiday, which lasts from the Ides (February is one of the months in which the Ides does not fall on the 15th) to the 21st. During the Parentalia the dead were honored, like Memorial Day in the U.S.
