Io Saturnalia! Hopefully this time next year, we'll be celebrating the Roman midwinter festival having begun our excavation on Rougier Street (though with slightly less decadence!)
Could you handle a Roman Christmas? Beginning on 17th December the Romans celebrated midwinter with at least five days of feasting and partying called the Saturnalia, the celebration of Saturn. 🥳 eht.social/2GLxctZ
