ante diem vi nonas maias a.k.a. Floralia (day 6) -- a festival originally ordered in response to an interpretation of the Sybilline books in 238 B.C., it fell into desuetude only to be revived in 173 B.C.; it was a general festival of drinking and other merriment in honour of Flora, who presided over (of course) flowers and their blossoms Posted by david meadows on Mon, May 02, 2005 at 12:00 AM Comment on this post @ Classics Central |
