It’s #Saturnalia, an ancient Roman festival celebrated from the 17th to the 23rd of December to mark the midwinter. Saturnalia was dedicated to the Italian agricultural god Saturn. It involved feasts, gifts, colourful outfits, and the reversal of societal norms!

🍬It's the last day of Spooky Book Week, and this post is about Classical reception: how the ancient world has been remembered and interpreted in more recent times.
It's a growing—and fascinating—subject, looking at everything from art and literature to music and video games.
