‘io Saturnalia’ is the salutation for the Roman festival of the worship of Saturn that started today. ‘Io’ relays joy in Latin, like the word ‘hooray’. Fresco of a rather menacing looking God Saturn cloaked and holding a sickle from the House of the Dioscuri, #Pompeii #Saturnalia

Io Saturnalia!🌟🪔 "Long awaited, the seven Saturnalia are now at hand." Macrobius Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival in honour of the god Saturnus that began on December 17. It was a time of feasting, drinking, playing, gift-giving and role-reversal. followinghadrian.com/2017/12…

Your annual reminder that although it is claimed, today probably wasn’t the day that Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 burying the landscape in volcanic debris and covering the Roman cities of #Pompeii and #Herculaneum as well as other settlements and rural villas in the area.

Sextilis was originally the 6th month in the #Roman year. In 45BC, under the Julian Calendar reforms it became the 8th month & gained an extra day to be 31 days in length. In 8BC, the Senate decreed that the name should be changed to #August, in honour of the Emperor, #Augustus.

Welcome to August, the second month named after a human being: Gaius Octavius, heir to Julius Caesar, last man standing in a brutal civil war. He became princeps, was granted the title Augustus by the senate, and declared divine upon his death.

Adoreum: it may not be pizza, but it is quite literally a glory to behold, and a reminder that the breads and pastries we adore today have journeyed to our tables through millennia and from places that are often oceans away. And this time, from Pompeii. 👉 bbc.com/travel/article/20230…

9th May was the first day of the #Roman Lemuria festival (also the 11 & 13). It was an opportunity for Romans to cast out any spirits of the restless dead who happened to be lurking in their homes, by throwing/spitting black beans around the house, & banging bronze pots together.

9 May is Europe Day! 🇪🇺 The goddess Europa gave her name to the whole continent of Europe. In Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess whose beauty inspired the god Zeus to seduce her. He appeared to her as a white bull and carried her away to Crete. Later she bore Zeus three sons, one of whom, Minos, became ruler of Crete. worldhistory.org/Europa/ #EuropeDay
