Do you like to read? Lindsey Davis has a series about a Roman detective in the time of Vespasian, and the latest happens around Saturnalia....there are tidbits throughout!

Why put off festivities for a year? Lupercalia falls in February. Young men get naked and chase young ladies with the altruistic aim of whipping them about the loins to encourage fertility. Wholesome family fun for all.
