Saturnalia MMXV
The Imperial Romans celebrated the end-of-year Roman festival of Saturnalia at the Roman Temple with a pot luck dinner and gathering of old friends. These pics were taken at the Temple about a week before and hamming it up for the festive Christmas season. The ancient Romans released the god Saturn from his temple once a year where his power of chaos turned the world upside down, and slaves could lord it over their masters. Of course, if they were too cheeky, once it was all over they could still be given a damn good thrashing. The Romans were hard, but fair.
