🔥 Final day of the #Vestalia Festival!
#OTD, the Temple of #Vesta was purified in a ritual called stercoratio — the sweeping of filth, carried to the River #Tiber to cleanse the city.
Known as Quando Stercum Delatum Fas — “when dung may be removed lawfully.”
A powerful Roman ritual of renewal. 🏛️💧

🌸🔥 #OTD 9 June, Day 3 of #Vestalia! 🐴🍞 #Romans decked donkeys with flower garlands & bread, thanking them for powering bakery mills and—per Ovid—braying just in time to save Vesta from Priapus. Celebrate hearth, home & heroic donkeys!

Today, Jun 7, our fun friends in the #RomanEmpire would have been getting down with the #Vestalia. It was a Roman religious festival in honor of #Vesta, the goddess of the #hearth and the burning continuation of the sacred fire of Rome.

🪷 On 7 June the ancient Romans celebrate the #Vestalia festival of the Vestal Virgins, keepers of the Eternal Flame of Rome which must never go out lest Rome fall. Adorn your doorways with garlands of ivy to ensure their blessings on your home! 🪷
