aedilis
Faliscan edit
Etymology edit
The Faliscan word aedilis is possibly an adaptation of the Latin word aedilis, or it could be a calque on the Middle Faliscan word Efis. If the word was adapted from another Latin word, it would have developed due to the fact that aediles took their name from the Temples of Vesta and Ceres.
