The Septimontium was celebrated in September, or, according to later calendars, on Agonalia, 11 December. It was not a public festival in the sense of ''Glossary of ancient Roman religion#feria, feriae populi'', according to Varro, who sees it as an urban analog to the rural Paganalia.

The ''montes'' include two divisions of the Palatine Hill and three of the Esquiline Hill, among the traditional "seven hills of Rome". Plutarch's notice of this festival is obscure, ...
