Originally celebrated on December 17, Saturnalia was extended first to three and eventually to seven days. The date has been connected with the winter sowing season, which in modern italia varies from October to January. Remarkably like the Greek kronia, it was the liveliest festival of the year. All work and business were suspended. slaves were given temporary freedom to say and do what they liked, and certain morral restrictions were eased. The streets were infected with a mardi gras madness; a mock king was chosen (Saturnalicius princeps); the seasonal greeting io Saturnalia was heard everywhere. The closing days of the Saturnalia were known as Sigillaria, because of the custom of making, toward the end of the festival, presents of candles, wax models of fruit, and waxen statuettes which were fashioned by the sigillarii or manufacturers of small figures in wax and other media. The cult statue of Saturn himself, traditionally bound at the feet with woolen bands, was untied, presumably to come out and join the fun.


Saturnalia included revelry, song, gambling, and entertainment such as dice and astragalus. Seneca wrote: “The sounds of great preparations can be heard everywhere, as if there were some real difference between the days dedicated to Saturn and the days for conducting business.”

The Athenian Treasury at Delphi, in the 5th century BC and today.

The Athenian Treasury at Delphi was constructed by the Athenians to house dedications and votive offerings made by their city and citizens to the sanctuary of Apollo. The entire treasury including its sculptural decoration is built of Parian marble. The date of construction is disputed, and scholarly opinions range from 510 to 480 BCE.
