by circumlocution, *ancipites variosque casus habens: *propter ancipites variosque casus memorabilis. Sometimes by ille: I shall never forget that eventful night, when, etc., memini nec unquam obliviscar noctis illius, cum, etc. (Cic.). Sen. has vita actuosa, but only of a restlessly active life. Sometimes eventful means filled with disastrous events; as, an eventful day, dies funestus, luctuosus (Pliny has decretorius dies, decisive, bringing about a decision: fatalis dies is one that was fated to see the destruction of a city, etc.): that was an eventful day to me, illo die res mirae evenerunt mihi.
