BONUS EPISODE - Io Saturnalia!

In this seasonal episode from our archive, we take a sensory deep dive into the ancient Roman, mid-December festival of Saturnalia. You can expect a delightful combination of naked singing, elf hats and Christmas jumpers. Plus we find out just how much wine some employers expected their staff to get through during the festival... P.S it's a LOT.



Sources for this episode are:

  1. Seneca, Letters from a Stoic, XVIII On Festivals & Fasting
  2. Martial, Epigrams, 14.1
  3. Pliny the Younger, Letters, 2.17

Music credit goes to our two resident composers: Phil Russell and Alice Morgan (you can find Alice on Instagram - missalicekeys).
