Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author explores the Saturnalia, an ancient Roman festival associated with merriments and indulgences. The author examines the festival's rituals, its significance in Roman society, and its portrayal in ancient literature, particularly in the works of Macrobius. The book not only delves into the historical and cultural aspects of the Saturnalia but also explores its broader meaning and its connection to themes of social inversion, reversal of roles, and the suspension of societal norms during a period of exuberant celebration. The author also examines how the Saturnalia was appropriated and transformed throughout history, offering insights into its lasting influence on Western culture. Through a thorough analysis of ancient texts and a comprehensive exploration of the festival's multifaceted nature, this book provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the Saturnalia, shedding light on its significance both within the context of ancient Rome and its enduring relevance in the contemporary world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
