Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an essential contribution to the study of Saturnalia rites and practices. The author brings together a rare collection of Latin texts, unparalleled in its thoroughness, from a variety of classical writers, including Macrobius, Plutarch, Suetonius, and many more. The author offers a comprehensive introduction to these texts, explaining the origins, development, and significance of Saturnalia in ancient Rome. Among many striking insights that the author offers is the idea that Saturnalia was a time when social norms were overturned, and different social structures were temporarily put into place. The author concludes by arguing that the insights provided by these texts about the rites, practices, and social norms of Saturnalia are rich and varied, offering valuable information for understanding both the religious and cultural life of the ancient Romans and their view of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390018349_0
