On this day - October 4 - in 2020 The Simpsons released an episode set in Ancient Rome. I confess to not having seen it, but the promotional posters were brilliant.

On this day - September 23 - Romans celebrated a festival honouring Apollo (deus solis et musicae). FUN FACT : Did you know that Apollo was one of only three gods to whom it was permitted to sacrifice a bull? The other two were Mars and Neptune. (Adkins and Adkins, 1996, p. 13)

Today’s translation.

On this day - September 13 - many Romans must have gone to bed tired. There was a festival for the goddess Minerva, another festival for Juno, and a feast honouring Jupiter, king of the gods. And, if that wasn’t enough, today was the first day of the Ludi Romani (Romans Games).
