Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical analysis of the Saturnalia, an ancient Roman festival honoring the god Saturn. The author explores how the festival evolved during the Roman Empire, the various rituals it entailed, and its deep roots in pre-Roman Italian culture. The text interweaves insights from archaeology, history, and philology to present a vivid picture of the Saturnalia's religious and cultural significance. This interdisciplinary approach offers fresh perspectives on the festival's transformation from its humble origins as the rural harvest festival in honor of an ancient sky god to its multifaceted significance during the latter days of the Roman Empire. The author's research reveals the numerous influences that shaped the festival, shedding light on the diverse religious and ritual traditions that shaped ancient Roman society.
