In earlier Roman [[art]], Quirinus was portrayed as a bearded man with religious and military clothing. However, he was almost never depicted in later [[Roman art]].{{Why|date=August 2022}} His main [[festival]] was the '''Quirinalia''', held on February&nbsp;17.<ref name="StultorumFeriae" />

The priest of Quirinus, the ''[[Flamen Quirinalis]]'', was one of the three patrician ''flamines maiores'' ("major [[flamen]]s") who had precedence over the [[Pontifex Maximus]].<ref>{{cite book |author-link=Sextus Pompeius Festus |author=Festus |title=De Verborum Significatione |title-link=De Verborum Significatione |at=198, L |quote=''Quirinalis, socio imperii Romani Curibus ascito Quirino''}}</ref>
