Io Saturnalia!
On 17 December, the Romans attended a public ritual and sacrifice at the Temple of Saturnus, followed by a public banquet. It was a holiday from all forms of work: Schools were closed and courts were not in session, so nobody could receive punishment and no declaration of war could be made. After the public rituals, observances continued at home.#IoSaturnalia #ancientRome #ReligioRomana

It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!
In the "House of the Ephebe" in #Pompeii there is an arched lararium niche embellished with white stucco on a blue background. The lararium is the place where offerings and prayers were made to the gods. This one is decorated with a large painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus.
